Dan Rather was on a talk show once and related his experience after the
Kennedy assassination.  He was the first to talk to Mr. Zapruder about his
film of the shooting.  He offerred him an amount not acceptable to Mr.
Zapruder; then called his bosses at CBS for further instructions.  By the time
he got back with a better offer, Zapruder had sold the rights (to I believe
Time magazine for $10,000)
Rather's boss scolded him and suggested strongly " Next time, Dan, when
someone has some footage that is invaluable to us; hit him over the head, take
the film.  He can then sue us later; and probably not get anywhere, because
our lawyers are better than he can possibly afford."

This is the mentality you are usually dealing with with the media.  There are
a few exceptions out there, but hard to find.

I guess, if you are naive enough to believe the "offers" of recognition and
fame in exchange for your rare tornado footage, you will give your stuff away.
That does lower the value of similar stuff others get---supply and demand, you
know.
