The use of on-hand footage helps them to better understand the news. They should partly show the part where it happened and some witnesses at the scene. Witnesses at scene are the most important in a crime to be videoed. Normally, news should contain enough evidences showing the suspect and more witness to strongly define the news. For this matter, they can perfectly say that the crime is not a joke to happen. Documentation of the event is evidently can help for further investigation. News on Q only showed clippings of places where it happened, picture of the victims and interview to the relatives. They just say that they have exclusive video but just clippings of crime scene.
