(From Forbes.com -- By Louis Hau)
Producing television news can be an expensive and sometimes risky proposition.
One possible solution -- let viewers shoot footage themselves.
This month, ABC NEWS NOW, THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY's 24-hour premium news channel, launched a weekly program that incorporates video clips sent in from viewers who want to comment on the top news and entertainment stories of the week.
And last week, WCAU-10, a Philadelphia station owned and operated by GENERAL ELECTRIC's NBC UNIVERSAL, launched a YOUTUBE-style online video sharing service.
By the end of the year, TIME WARNER's CNN, GENERAL ELECTRIC's MSNBC.com and the REUTERS news agency
are each planning to introduce new ways for viewers and Web surfers to send in video content that they've shot, so producers can incorporate them into news reports or online packages.
