The Stringer

An excerpt from a documentary short by Suree Towfighnia.
The filmmaker takes us into the little-known world of "stringers" as she explores the world of Pauly LaPointe, a Chicago man who listens to police scanners and chases down breaking news in an attempt to be the first on the scene to get the story.

Yes there is, Shoot something viral and you can get lots of views or if its noteworthy sell it to the news. This business can be lucrative if you hustle. Its like writing articles; if one gets popular you're set.
