SpideredNews.com : Volunteer News Cameramen and Reporters wanted
==============================================

If you have an interest in the news, and would like to be there recording the breaking news, and if you wish, to be a reporter on your video recording, then please e-mail editorial@spiderednews.com with your details.

Please include a description of the type of events you are interested in, so that you would be recording events which are both news worthy, and of interest to yourself.

If you would like to propose a team of friends (e.g. cameraman, reporter, video editing and uploading) then that would be great.

This is an excellent opportunity to both increase your exposure and to bring to a wider audience news which is overlooked by the mainstream media.

Sounds a good plan, you should maybe send it on to all sorts of local colleges where they do media studies. So many short films are made about local issues that go unseen - I've made plenty...

Good idea faceless. I had already posted it on https://www.mediauk.com/
{though takes 24 hours to "vet"}

Someone also recommended Bournemouth University's media course.

i'd be up for that in the london area

i haven't really got a clue what i'm doing though

but i have a camera that takes video and i'd be up for popping into london to cover certain events and protests etc

what you planning on doing then mandy, covering things then just editing them for the site?

face's ideas a good one, i bet you'll get a lot of talented people with no real outlet for their work who'd be up for it

do you need any videas of urban foxes and squirrels? i've got 2gb of coverage for you

Luke, that is great.

If you have the time, would you like to research and contact the local colleges ?

You could build a team around yourself

Idea is to add a "from the archive at SpideredNews.com" watermark on every frame, and then upload it (e.g. to an FTP account which would be allocated to you) so that it can then be linked to by SpideredNews.com and other forums, including CT.

And for something really hot, they might even get shown on a mains news channel

Many a true word spoken in jest. You could pick a few and act as a sample/test to upload.
