Have you captured any breaking news content? If an individual with a video phone finds him/herself in the middle of a breaking news story, the pictures, recordings, and video may be of interest (and value) to many. Quite a few media companies, including the BBC, are now actively buying this content from citizen journalists.
The independent video journalist market has spawned a need for a consumer news representative agency. These video journalists need an entity to represent their creative properties, making sure those newsworthy videos submitted to TV News Stations fetch the best price for the content. Assistance is needed when members of the public try to sell photographs and videos of newsworthy events to the press, bridging the gap between amateur photographer or videographer and the News Desk at the local and national news stations and online newspapers.
By 'amateur', this mean anybody with a digital camera or a cameraphone who just happens to be in the right place at the right time. Negotiating for payment of submitted video is usually left to a third party, and the individual who submitted the item usually has no recourse once his/her video has been uploaded to a site where the fine print grants the site owner exclusive license.
Videonewscaster.com indexes video footage that is news worthy and announces all approved submissions to competing news agencies for possible distribution. All licensing and assignment fees are between the video author and the news agency. Obviously, this approach only works when the footage is owned by the person submitting and is an actual newsworthy clip. Care must be taken to insure the original footage is uploaded where the submitter retains all rights.
With so many citizen journalists now crowding major events, stock footage is becoming prevalent. The news media companies seem to be screaming out "bring me the real money: secretive scandals, sunbathing celebrities, and all sorts of geo-political happenings in remote areas and we’ll put it on the air."
Virtually every video phone sold today is bundled with video digitizing and editing software. With affordable or free storage and hosting services on the web, anyone with a video phone can start 'training' for a job as an on-location video news reporter. Video capturing, management and story-telling tools have been placed in the hands of millions of people. Opportunities abound, from marketing to service creation.
Consumers will come to expect that they can capture real life newsworthy events and share that breaking news experience with the world. Videonnewscaster.com gives the world instant access to announce content on the most comprehensive news network ever built, for free. This gives the individual the ability to broadcast their own real-life footage to the masses.
