EU launches EuroMed news
The European Commission yesterday (15 April) launched a new television channel to promote its neighbourhood policy and boost the visibility of EU-funded projects in the Mediterranean region.[...]
The new channel seeks to "inform the public about the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, facilitate coverage and broadcasting, stimulate dialogue, and promote cultural diversity and gender equality".
Part-financed by the Commission to the tune of €2.16m, EuroMed News's joint production team of France Télévision and hundreds of local broadcasters in countries like Algeria, Jordan, Libya, Syria, Morocco and Lebanon will produce over 17 hours of programming between now and February 2010.
