Situation Two
You are the online editor for a local TV news station in a city with a large university. The college football team unexpectedly wins a game against its chief rival. The crowd spills out of the stadium and onto the street, just as night falls. Almost immediately, the scene turns violent, with fans overturning vehicles and fights erupting. A student you do not know calls the station to tell you she has a camera and is capturing video in the center of the storm, which she’ll sell to your station. What do you do?
