Europarl
website, Information - 17-09-2008 - 14:40
( not
working at that time but now at 16h30 yes)
4 new channels on Europe
You've seen the
banners, now watch the European Parliament's new state-of-the art web-TV -
EuroparlTV. It's the world's most ambitious multilingual online TV service with
programmes in over 20 EU languages on the people, the debates, the big issues,
the latest news, life behind the scenes and with special programmes for young
people.
From 17 September,
anyone with broadband internet access can see more of the Parliament through
constantly updated programmes and live coverage. The "father" of the
EuroparlTV project, EP Vice President for Information and Communication Policy
Alejo Vidal-Quadras explains more about what some have dubbed Europe's C-Span.
He says EuroparlTV will bridge the communication gap between the EU
institutions and citizens.
Some first remarks (see also the references)
- Great to learn or to improve European languages with subtitles in your language
- Good idea to give the cost of this operation (see the
PDF files within the following references). Accountability is also to be a rule for EP.
- Why not to use news warning service to allow
subscription by email or RSS feeds on a selected theme inside a channel ?
- Why not to use also well established video services like YouTube, DailyMotion … ( see a service like EUtube at http://www.youtube.com/EUtube or UK Parliament at http://uk.youtube.com/ukparliament or the famous MIT http://uk.youtube.com/user/MIT )? ). It would be a way to gain audience.
