Kan Atiruj Warns News-Telling Influencers to Respect Copyright as Every Video Has an Owner
News anchor Kan Atiruj cautions social media influencers to respect copyright laws when reporting news, emphasizing that every photo and video belongs to the creator who captured it.
The copyright issue has become a trending topic following a dispute between veteran news producers and news-reporting influencers. Prominent news anchor Kan Atiruj Kittipat recently shared her thoughts and offered a cautionary message to news-content creators on social media during the launch of the "Saansook" application at the Health Promotion Fund's Learning Center.
Kan explained, "I understand both sides of this issue. I know the influencers and have worked with veteran news producers. Everyone in journalism bears the cost of going into the field and producing content. In this case, I believe the influencer may not have initially understood the legal requirements thoroughly, but they are now aware and have already apologized for the mistake."
Kan also shared her own experience creating news content on social media, noting that fans frequently request additional visuals to enhance the stories. However, she emphasized that she deliberately refrains from using others' photos or videos in her clips because she fully recognizes that every image and every video belongs to someone who invested effort in capturing it.
