Guardian CCTV scoop
The Guardian's done pretty well out of its CCTV video footage of the police's heavy-handed arrest of Toni Cromer outside a Sheffield nightclub. After featuring on Wednesday's Newsnight, it was still leading the BBC Ten news tonight (Thursday), with suitable branding and acknowledments to the newspaper.
(Incidental question: did the Guardian run the footage on its site before Wednesday's Newsnight broadcast it? The story is dated as Thursday - the day it appeared on the newspaper's front page).
Another newspaper scoop in what would once have been tv-only territory.
It seems to have acquired the vid from a Sheffield pressure group called The Monitoring Group North, whose aim is to eliminate racial harrassment in the area, and which is also running it on its site.
