i don't really want to report for i-Report.
That's what CNN calls the video and picture reports that its viewers send in. You're supposed to e-mail or phone any reports you might get from news that's breaking: natural disasters, fires, car chases, celebrity sightings, whatever. I haven't seen too many of these reports on the network (though it is a regular thing so I've probably just missed them), but do they credit you with the pictures/video/audio or just give a general "here's footage shot from a CNN viewer" nod? And I'm sure they don't pay you, right? That would be a whole different level. So you're basically a photographer/videographer for CNN but you don't get paid or any other benefits from it. I bet they'd even frown on you using something on your resume like "correspondent for CNN's i-Report division."
Anyone out there ever send anything in to CNN (or MSNBC/Fox News)?

They had a call for editorial cartoons on cnn.com last week so I figured what the heck. I put my work online for free anyway. Haven't seen anything come of it yet, yay or nay. But if they use it I'll get a swell t-shirt.
Not to mention free publicity.
