Euronews goes pure

5 June 2008

At 1830GMT on 4 June, Euronews unveiled its new corporate identity and
on-screen look.

With media executives, advertisers, parliamentarians and regulators gathered
at two simultaneous parties in Paris and London, the new look was launched in a
count-down to the 1830GMT news bulletin – the first to use the brand new
Euronews logo.

The new look distinguishes the channel from its international news rivals in
being round – in fact, the new logo is a simple white circle, while the Euronews
name is in a brand new font, entirely in lower case. And the channel is now
marketing itself as "pure" – in other words, it’s pure news, uncomplicated by
correspondents’ reports and live two-ways.

RNTC 40 years of media and development

3 June 2008

Radio Netherlands Training Centre (RNTC), Radio Netherlands Worldwide’s centre of expertise on media, education and development, is marking its 40th anniversary with the international conference, Media and Development. RNTC will join forces with domestic and international colleagues to discuss the future role of the media in developing countries and the contribution to be made by international organisations.

Those taking part in the conference will include representatives of the Dutch foreign ministry, UNDP, the BBC World Service Trust, Deutsche Welle Akademie and Internews. Partners and former students of RNTC, now occupying senior positions in media organisations in the developing world, will also be attending.

RNTC’s general manager, Lem van Eupen, expects the conference to come up with new insights. “We’re continually aware of the great need of media organisations in developing countries to improve their capabilities through training, advice and co-operation. Naturally, what’s required has changed dramatically over the past 40 years, just as has the context in which those requirements exist. How can the international community deal with this need? That’s what we’ll be discussing with the various interested parties in the fields of media, education and development.”

RNTC was set up in 1968 by institutions including Radio Netherlands Worldwide and the Dutch foreign ministry as a centre for international education. Its goal is to provide training for media professionals from the developing world and strengthen media organisations in situ abroad. Since its foundation, RNTC has provided training to many tens of thousands of media professionals from developing countries.

“RNTC’s method of work is tailored to demand. We work pragmatically and aim for sustainable results. Recently published client satisfaction research shows our work is given over nine out of ten by media organisations and programme makers. It goes without saying that we’re very happy with that result”, says Ms van Eupen.
