Title: Editorial content: Iraqis and Syrians
Post by: Stroke Footage on February 03, 2016, 16:59
Hi everyone!
I'm heading to Iraqi Kurdistan for a project and I'll have the time to film editorial content mostly about Iraqi and Syrians refugee camps.
I'm a non-exclusive contributor now present on six platforms.
As I don't have much experience with editorial content, I'm wondering if anyone can suggest wether this type of content would be in demand for news, reportages and so on and, eventually, which agencies have a stronger editorial appeal?
Thank you all in advance.

I don't think the troubles in that region are going away any time soon so I believe any content you shoot there could be of value. Will you have access to battle scarred areas, military bases or personnel? That kind of footage is pretty rare so would definitely be worth something.

Goes without saying safe travels!

Thank you very much both for your answers.
Nope, atm the plan is safer than jumping in the battle zones.
I couldn't find any editorial footage of refugee towns and settlements among several agencies. Dissolve wrote me today that it would be a good submission, despite their cinematic and commercial imprint, but I agree with your point thepokergod.
