El Nacional got a huge spike in Web traffic ... but students never gave the video cameras back...

Not every citizen journalist effort is an unalloyed success. When street demonstrations by university students in Venezuela last fall began to turn the tide against President Hugo Chavez's proposed constitutional changes, the Caracas daily El Nacional gave students 15 video cameras to use for its Web site.
The newspaper got some great footage, and it got a huge spike in Web traffic. 'But they never gave the cameras back,' Antonio Fernandez of El Nacional said.
