Update on a third sector TV

di Filippo Addarii

Networking is vital in your job. It’s a shortcut to useful info without bothering with boring reaserch. I had a meeting with a PR person this week and he gave me some good tips on the topic. There are already 2 interesting projects:

– the Community Channel, owned and run by the Media Trust. It’s the UK’s only digital television station dedicated to highlighting issues from both local and international communities as well as the voluntary and charity sector.

– the Current TV, as WIkipedia says, features “pods”, or short programs, of which a portion are created by viewers and users including civil society activists who usually don’t have anything better than hussel their fellows with good causes and emergencies. Al Gore is behind it and it operates in the UK, Ireland and Italy.

Voila! Some tasks for our Bloomberg: Riccardo, come to London first to meet Caroline, CEO of Media Trust. Natually, she is a member. Secondly, a visit to Washington is required to meet Al Gore and, since you are there, say hello to Obama. He might be interested in third sector TV!
