I have bagged a few of these in my time as a non-pro. Usually I sell to press and would never charge a commercial news outlet less than £100 but the price may go up if its spectacular. Most of what I sell on the fly is horror, man run down by train etc but a couple of years ago I was hit on for a landscape I entered in a local competition and was asked if it could be used for promoting the local area and I gave it away free so long as I got a credit for it. I figured it was my bit for the general public good - by the way it was shot on a happy snappy digital.
Summing up....as a non pro if it was for charity or community use I would normally charge a nominal fee for time and trouble. Might be free but unlikley to be over £100. price depends on use, one off or will they make money from it.
Commercial press, subject dictates price. If I have film of Sully landing on the Hudson it would be a lot more expensive than an amusing situation with local cops recovering cat from tree.Typically though £100 for non event.
Pro work...time, materials and profit and you wont see much change out of £500 a day.
