I am still surprised at the apparent apathy of people to submit video and photos to our Web site.
It is such a good opportunity to showcase video and photos from the recent floods. We have seen an upsurge of contributed photos in recent days, but video submissions are still slow.
To submit videos these are the steps:
Go online at thetelegraph.com
Click on Start Here under latest submitted videos.
Create a free Brightcove account by following the on-screen directions.
Select a video from your hard drive and click upload video.
I also encourage people to submit photos. On The Telegraph home page look for the Community drop down and click on submit photos, then put a caption in and hit the browse button to find their art file, then hit upload.
Both processes are very simple and I hope people will take advantage of the availability.
The Telegraph has a limited staff and is trying to cover the highlights of the flood, but with your help can show much more. If you have a flood story tip, I suggest you call the newsroom City Desk at (618) 463-2576 or me at (618) 463-2560.
