24. "ABC News used my instagram video" In response to In response to 0
of the fire at the Old Navy on 34th Street I just happened to be in the area took to Twitter and IG asking if anyone knew what happened took a short video of firefighters on an awning throwing stuff out of a window and smoke billowing out ABC News commented asking if they could use my video and left me a number. CBS did too but they didn't leave a number plus I saw ABC's comment first so I called the number, spoke to a producer and got name credit when the video aired during the 10:00pm broadcast.
In my case I was contacted by the network news producers directly, not by a company that sells footage.
