MEDIA: EUROPARLTV, THE EU PARLIAMENT’S TV CHANNEL, IS BORN (2)

The new EU TV channel EuroparlTV does not have one schedule only as it is a bouquet of four channels, each one addressed – as the media directors of the EU Parliament meant to do – to a different public. "Your Parliament" is targeted "to people who have a particular interest in EU politics". "Your voice" is targeted to the public at large and "offers the possibility to upload contents made by the users". "Young Europe" is targeted to school-age young people, composed of "great internet users and future European voters". Finally, "Live from Parliament" offers continued coverage of Parliament’s events, "especially plenary debates and, over the next few months, the work of the Parliamentary committees". Through this initiative, explains deputy president Alejo Vidal-Quadras, Parliament "committed itself to making its work as transparent and understandable as possible for the European citizens. They are entitled to know and make sense of what happens in the Parliament they voted for".
