Video Phones Now a Source For Breaking News

Associate Editor
 
In an era of  camera phones and subsequently, video phones, it’s no surprise that the multifunctional gadget in your pocket is turning us regular Joe Q. Publics into every day Peter Parkers.
 
For instance, when breaking news happens, say, in your hometown, a TV station dispatches a camera crew and news van with satellite equipment to the scene to cover said breaking news when in actuality, the event has already taken place. Any reporting or news coverage is based on live interviews of witnesses at the scene.


 
But if you own a video phone, chances are, you could turn that contraption into a fully functioning news recording device.


 
Anyone with a video cell phone or camcorder that captures newsworthy video can submit the clip for free through http://www.videonewscaster.com, a Website with a growing database of over 500 local and national news organizations.
 
Local news channels have an interest in breaking news video footage. Most of these news organizations have a News Desk that accepts submissions by the public; however the organizations don’t always have the capability to catalog all of the submissions they receive. VideoNewsCaster.com acts as a gateway to many amateur video clips which may contain interesting shots for news organizations to use.
 
The media is notified directly about any newsworthy video clips uploaded by the public and the submitter can be alerted by whichever news organizations are interested in airing the clip on TV or the Internet.
 
More information can be found by visiting VideoNewsCaster.com on the Web.
