Who Supplied Sky News with the first image of Madeleine McCann?

Is Jon Corner known to any member?

The Leveson inquiry witness statement confirms the situation:

That is a good bit of work qwerty I would never have known to look into document.  Paragraph 8 is also significant in that it was only the BBC that confirmed that the information given to them by Jon Corner was correct.  Now since the photo was shown on Sky News that could still be a possible clue that it was not the correct photo.

This is the video where the image is sourced https://youtu.be/epWpdQZGE9o?t=40

I have had two people analyse this video section from which the Sky News "Missing girl" photo originates and in their opinion there is nothing to indicate that the video is actually of Madeleine McCann (other than the coloboma on the right eye) or that is was filmed in any location associated with the McCanns.  Please have a look at it and see if you can prove them wrong.

The link shows McCann home videos.  What an I supposed to be looking at?

YouTube videos like that are compilations by other people using videos they have saved from various sources.  If the channel holder was "Gerry McCann" then I might think it was Gerry who linked up a series of his home videos but here we have an owner we don't know.  There is no evidential proof gained from reading the title of the YT video.  Ignore the title.
That video was uploaded by AwesomeRandomnessGirl5 and looking at her channel she has no other videos re the McCann case so IMO she wouldn't have access to the original home videos produced.
The section in question starts https://youtu.be/epWpdQZGE9o?t=40 and finishes https://youtu.be/epWpdQZGE9o?t=48  (8 second clip)

Is there anything in that 8 second movie that makes you certain you are looking at Madeleine McCann?

Madeleine's image and Madeleine's name have been appropriated by some unsavoury characters in the past ... it does not wipe out that the image and the name they have stolen are Madeleine.
I really fail to see where you are coming from following this line.

I'm not accusing the channel owner of doing anything illegal.  It is just great that someone has saved the same section of footage that may have been sent to Sky News on the 4th. 
When you look particularly at that 8 second clip where there is a girl is dressed in what looks like an American themed costume what is there that makes you think that girl is Madeleine McCann?

Other than the fact she looks like Madeleine - her ears & her nose.

You've lost me Robitty.  Is that the image?  I think that is a Disney Snow White costume she is wearing and I've never seen anyone questioning that it is an image of Madeleine.

One thing I have note is the video clips all have SN on one side and 7 on the other.  Is that Sky News channel 7?

Well that fuller photo doesn't come from the video clip, but it looks like the same girl wearing the same costume.
We still have no proof that Gerry sent all these pictures to Pamalam to put them on her website.
We still have no proof that is Madeleine McCann.

[Robittybob1]

there were two costume pictures there. Does every one think they are the same person wearing the same costume?

I don't know why it is important to you, Robitty.  That is most definitely a still taken from the video ... check out the matching background.  Play it back and watch the position of the legs in the white trousers in the background ... I think there is a clumsy edit there obliterating the screen shot frame or you would have been able to see the match.

It can't be a still from that video, but maybe from the original, but that still doesn't prove it was Madeleine McCann.

Madeleine's parents seem to think it is her ... will that convince you?
