Nowadays, most mobile phones have camera phones and internet access. If you are ever in a position where there is a potential news story e.g. conflicts, accidents, crimes, disasters etc... Would you be inclined to take some footage on your phone and post it to any Social Media Websites?
In a Facebook poll of 66 respondents, 33.3% chose “Yes, I would take photographs/videos but not put them on Social Media”. How we count

0%0
If it was safe and unintrusive, I would (I took pictures of a fire after checking with the Fires Service that no one was in danger and they had the situation under control, which then were shared by local news). If I thought it would in any way compromise the emergency services/resuce effort (or myself), or if people were hurt/distressed, then I wouldn't.
