Around here, we have no objection at all to videotaping. The Court gives them a room outside the Court and they can use the same feed which is producing the Court record. Never see the guys. No noise, no interruption, no problems. Might have a camera or two outside the Court but they're always pretty straight guys who have done the Court beat for years. The TV guys stay back and stay polite. (Let's NOT get off on those !@#$%$ wide-angle lenses again!) Around here -- Landmark, for the most part, mind you -- the print photo-journalists seem to be either incompetent or rude or both.
