Ever wonder how some news stories grab your attention more than others? It’s often because they include video evidence. Videos cut through rumors and give you a clear look at events as they unfold. From crash scenes in Kenya to epic sports battles, this type of content helps you understand the full story.
For example, the tragic AMREF air ambulance crash in Mwihoko shocked many when eyewitness videos showed the mid-air blast and debris falling on nearby homes. These clips added a raw, real angle that words alone couldn't capture, putting safety questions right where they belong—front and center.
Think about sports. Fans don’t just read scores; they watch highlights and live streams. When Sporting took on Benfica or Aston Villa offered pre-season games on VillaTV, video evidence made all the difference. It lets supporters feel like they're right there in the stadium, catching every goal or tackle live, no matter where they are.
Plus, video evidence isn't just for breaking news or sports. It’s being used in courts to defend or challenge claims, like when Judge Mbenenge faced a sexual harassment tribunal. Video recordings can either support facts or reveal hidden truths, making justice more transparent.
So, why should you care? Because video evidence keeps news honest. It stops fake reports and shows the human side of headlines, whether it’s a boxing title fight in Saudi Arabia or a police investigation. It helps you get the story straight, making you a smarter news watcher and a well-informed individual.
At JLT Creative Daily News Africa, we highlight stories backed by solid video evidence because seeing the truth matters. Stay tuned and keep watching – sometimes a single clip can change everything you thought you knew about a story.
A newly surfaced surveillance video from March 2016 reportedly shows Sean 'Diddy' Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel hallway. In the footage, Combs, clad in a towel, grabs Cassie, throws her to the ground, kicks her, and drags her by her sweatshirt. This incident is part of a larger lawsuit alleging years of abuse by Combs. He denies all allegations and is under federal investigation.
