Reuters has announced the launch of Reuters TV, a new YouTube channel featuring ten news, commentary and analysis programmes covering hard news, finance, politics, technology and special Reuters investigations.
The programming, which will appear on Reuters.com and on Reuters redesigned YouTube channel, marks Reuters entry into the rapidly growing business of online video programming, in partnership with one of the biggest players in next-generation TV, YouTube. Reuters is employing a creative editing style that is suited for Internet programming and does not mimic traditional TV.
“This deal with YouTube gives Reuters a way to showcase our collection of talented journalists and compelling video from around the world,” said Dan Colarusso, Reuters global head of programming, in a statement. “It will offer unique insights and images that other media companies simply can’t match.”
The new shows were developed by television news veteran and Reuters global executive producer Barclay Palmer.
