People caught up in terrorist attacks who whip out their phones to film it

[eastgermanautos]

and are then described as "terrified" when their footage is used in subsequent news coverage...

Anyone who does such a thing is not "terrified". They are excited and thinking of how much attention it is going to get them on social media.

You make a solid point, my friend.

Anyone who films a situation when they could have been helping is generally a ****... very occasionally filimg MIGHT help the Police, but as you say, generally it is because they are attention grabbing

Social media has a lot to answer for

Why do mobile phone video's shown on TV have those stupid end pannels on????

News reporters, for instance.
