French TV report / Autographs hunters in Hollywood

Hello,
My name is Cyril CHAPUIS, I am a journalist working for TF1, a big french TV chanel.

I am making a report about Hollywood autographs hunters.

I have read on abc news website that more than 50 people are collecting autographs as a way of living in L.A. Is that true ?

I would like to know how can you know where celebrities will be ?

Is it a tuff job ? I have a lot of questions to ask you.

You can answer here or contact me by mail at cyrilchapuis8@hotmail.com.

Tell me if you have a phone number where I can reach you

If you want to stay anonymous, this is not a problem for me.

Thanks for you help

Cyril, this is probably true. Here in Phoenix in fact there is/was a group of dedicated autograph sellers. I knew some of them even befriended a few, with the knowledge that our friendship only extended so far and I was not shopping from them.

Say, arent you also a famous footballer??

Let me get this straight--you want to report on something without actually experiencing it for yourself by soliciting anonymous opinions on the Internet?

How exactly do you plan to verify the accuracy of the words of these "anonymous sources" that you're so open to?

You want to report on Hollywood autograph hunters? Go to Hollywood. If, for some reason, you can't, then either kill the story or pass it off to someone who can. Anything less than that and you're doing a disservice to your viewers and your profession.

PS Hoaxes That Fooled Journalists

And there's a lot more than that.

But you go ahead and do a report based on information sought after on a forum, rather than things that you actually experience.
