I note that several weather and news organizations are asking chasers if they may use their photos/video on-air "with credit"
And I'm sure this has been talked about ad-nauseum in the past but, where do most stand on this? For one particular network it is almost as though they have an individual monitoring Twitter feeds during a severe weather event scouring for "media" and offering on air "credit" for the usage.
Personally? I find this approach tacky at best. To directly approach a chaser on-line and request their media for nothing more than an on-air credit is insulting. Make no mistake, these entities know very well how much you have invested in your chase systems.
And I'm seeing chase "teams" agree to usage. Whatever their motivation, I'm interested in where folks are at these days. And whether a resounding NO from the community at large will deliver a message that you don't get something for nothing. "Credit" in this day in age is about as tangible a "nothing" as one can get...
They're making a buck... Why shouldn't we?
