How To Submit Network News Video Clip Footage In 3 Steps
By Isaac Rubens
Has this ever happened to you? You're standing on a busy street corner, minding your own business, when all of a sudden a masked gunman comes running out of a nearby bank with the cops in hot pursuit. Luckily, you have your video cell phone and capture the whole scene on video. But how would you submit network video clip footage like this to ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox?

Being in the right place at the right time armed with a video cellphone when something newsworthy occurs means you could potentially reap some financial rewards. Did you know that organizations pay handsomely for exclusive video like this?

So what do you do now that you've captured some great video or picture with your cell phone? There are basically three steps to take if you want to get paid for the video footage you have shot. Edit, upload, and announce it to the media.

Most video cellphones come with movie editing software built-in (or packaged with the phone). Even if the bundled software is sub-par (which it usually is) there are many off-the-shelf software solutions that can enhance the quality

Struggling Retailers Paralyzed in Loss Prevention Efforts, New Study Finds
Retailers' perception of opportunities afforded by Loss Prevention initiatives based on sales performance, leads one to wonder: Is this a story of how Winners continue to win, or how laggards continue to miss the mark? While there is universal agreement that Shrink control is an ever-increasing retailer priority, Winners (those whose sales outperform their peers and inflation) rank nearly every opportunity for improvement higher than their underperforming peers.

and reduce the file size of the video you have captured.

Remember, you do not want to manipulate the video extensively, since this will jeopardize the 'man on the street' quality that the networks are looking for. Besides, the stations have much more sophisticated software than you could probably afford to massage your video into the desired format, length and content.

You probably don't need to do much to your raw video footage except reduce the length of the clip to the smallest size. This is important because you don't want to pay to upload your video and the free video hosting services only give you so much storage space that can quickly run out if you are uploading large files.

Next, you need to upload your video to an online video sharing service. There are bunch of these available, some offering a meager amount of free storage and charging extra for larger portions of space. Other services limit the amount of bandwidth your video can consume. This means the number of people that can watch your video at one time is limited.

After choosing a suitable place to host your newsworthy video, you need to tell the broadcasters about it. In whatever city you live in, there are local affiliates that are part of larger organizations like Fox or ABC. You can easily determine which stations are in your area by turning on a TV and seeing what the call-letters are for your local broadcast stations.

Once you have the call-letters (for example, WABC) then simply go online and do a search for those call-letters in your favorite search engine. Once you find the web site for that broadcaster, navigate to the page on the site that has a link for submitting breaking and supply the basic information that applies to your video, such as a description and the URL of the video where you uploaded it.
