If the 6pm #9News is going to use #Vanuatu earthquake videos filmed by #PortVila locals Michael Thompson aka ZiplineMike + journalist @danmcgarry.bsky.social aka VanuatuDan & others, it's respectful to attribute the footage to the owner! #VUEQ #AU_Media #ACMA #MEAA

"Maybe we could have something similar for media outlets on Bluesky to tell us who their owners or advertisers are."
