Honest, I’m not a Spanish wine snob. I’ve just come back from holiday and I’m desperately clinging to the memory. I’ll happily take any recommendation for a good Portuguese wine.

Portuguese TV has always credited journalists, image reporters and video editors. Don’t know about newspaper video (it’s still in the beginning) but they should all be credited, if not only to create references in the field.

PS:you and spanish wine!! got to send you a list of good portuguese wines and you’ll never utter the word Rioja again…

Most US Web videos I’ve seen have credits.

Even on TV sometimes the videographer is credited at the beginning or end of the pkg if the story is lengthy or showcases the photog’s skill.

Thanks Adrian

An office mate says its very popular in a lot of Latin American places as well as the US. I think I can guess a few reasons why it doesn’t happen on UK broadcasters.

It was more that it would be so simple, transparent and motivating to do it online. Seems a shame.

Happened on US network news and news magazines too.
