  • I have no idea what a stringer is, but I love this song. What is the name of it. It sounds like Tom Petty?

  • The song is "Down by the Waterline" by Dire Straits. A Stringer is a camera person who runs on breaking news (usually a freelancer - like myself) and sells it to the TV stations. Most of the spectacular video (ex. flames at a fire - victims at a crash - perps being arrested.) you see on the news is gathered by Stringers.

  • were will this be soon

  • Probably at the end of the summer. On DVD.
