I have been shot more times than I have been credited by the BBC
We talked a few weeks ago about how one Frontline News cameraman, Peter Jouvenal, failed to get the credit for his footage from the fall of Kabul and missed out on an Emmy award.
The other surviving Frontline founder member, Vaughan Smith, wrote this piece in today’s Guardian on the same theme.
As a freelancer, you depend on your good work getting you the next job, and if the next time you go in to an office to sell footage but the person you dealt with has moved on, you start all over again having to convince the new person you are worth listening to.
