With special thanks to:
Bloomberg have not only supported the development of our Citizen TV project but the top production team at Bloomberg TV created an amazing curriculum for our volunteer-learners to understand professional programme making.
On the channel
WORLDbytes latest line-up includes our new 'Wide Angle' series, with experts discussing terrorism and how comedic treatments come closer to the truth. In our first 'TV Dinners' show volunteers tuck in and consider whether 'fat' should be a government concern. Does the hype on illegal immigrants irritate you? WORLDbytes provides the solution in a 30 second short. From Austerity to Epigenetics, debates at the Battle of Ideas always provide new knowledge. A further six have been polished up by our volunteer-learners.
Check out the line up here. Do feel free to download, embed, share, copy and pass on these programmes.
