B-Roll Online

Television photojournalists looking for tips on how to get that perfect shot or how to make sure their gear works when covering a blizzard will find B-Roll Online to be a website well worth bookmarking.

This site is maintained by Kevin Johnson, a 27-year-old television news photographer at WVEC-13 (ABC) in Norfolk, Va.

All sorts of handy resources are found here, from constantly updated job listings to tips and tricks of the trade.

What makes this site work are the ideas, stories, and suggestions from working photographers. There also is a salary chart showing high and low pay rates in each market. The message board is well worth monitoring, too.
