EurActiv.com and EUX.TV have announced the formation of a joint venture to produce and publish online video content focused on European Union policies and politics. The joint company will cooperate to produce video reports and interviews, which will be available to viewers via both the EurActiv Network’s sites, including its blogging platform Blogactiv.eu, and EUX.TV’s YouTube channel.
Raymond Frenken, EUX.TV’s founder and the chief editor and managing director of the new EurActiv EUX.TV Video sprl, said the partnership represents a “promising new future for EUX.TV, and a bold step for EurActiv.”
Christophe Leclercq, the founder and publisher of EurActiv, described Frenken as “a pioneer in EU affairs video on the web. Raymond was first in the market and has built both impressive expertise and a strong reputation. We are excited to add those strengths of EUX.TV’s to EurActiv’s commercial and distribution strengths.”
Rick Zednik, chief executive of EurActiv.com, added that, “Through this alliance, we will produce the top quality video content that viewers have come to expect of EUX.TV and deliver it to the hundreds of thousands of visitors using EurActiv sites each month. Starting on Blogactiv, following market demand, we will gradually add more videos, then occasionally on EurActiv.com policy sections and, where relevant, on our 11-country Network.”
