AIB is proud to present its climate change portal, developed with technology from UltraKnowledge. It automatically pulls in updates from news sites and blogs across the web, tags them and then cross-links them, providing a fantastic resource for those interested in climate change to check the latest news and opinions, and to cross-check the stories across multiple sources.
As you can see from the screenshots, the portal also provides a wall of images from the posted stories, which gives viewers a new visual way of browsing through and finding items of interest. Although the portal has only just been developed, it already contains (and has tags for) thousands of articles and posts, with hundreds more being added every day.
We will be using the portal to attract those interested in the debate on climate change, who will find it an invaluable resource. Also, we will be advertising the People’s Choice award and the vote for the “Best Coverage of Climate Change” at the 2010 AIBs, and so attracting many voters.
Full details of the portal can be found in the press release.
As a non-profit organisation, the AIB is looking for a partner to help pay for the development of this portal. It provides a great opportunity for a brand to associate itself with climate change issues and ensuring that the debate is as open and informed as possible. The portal technology can also be used to automatically pull in, cross-tag and present any type of content in innovative ways – not just text, but also images, audio and video. It therefore has enormous potential for broadcasters and programme rights holders looking to make best use of their archives. Anyone interested in these opportunities should contact roger.stone@aib.org.uk

The campaign by onr of our sponsors, 1GOAL, used the World Cup as a major focus. But with the World Cup over, much of the real work, is still to be done. 15 million people have signed up to support “Education for All”. Now we have to use this support, from footballers, celebrities and politicians, but most of all from ordinary people all over the world, to pressure world leaders to ensure every person receives an education which will help equip them for life, including getting out of poverty.
We are using the build up to the 2010 AIBs to keep promoting the cause of “Education for All”, looking at how broadcasting can help in both in campaigning and delivery of education.
This 1GOAL video celebrates what has been achieved so far:

15 million signups – but 72 million still need access to education. We need to show them more support

We are delighted to announce that have received a record number of entries for the 2010 AIBs with many coming from broadcasters and independent producers who are entering for the first time. There is a good spread across most categories. In particular we are very pleased at the number of entries for our two new categories with 15 entries for the “Best children’s factual programme/series” and 10 for the “Best coverage of climate change”.
Over the next month, we will be examining in more detail the way broadcasting is dealing with climate change as we prepare for the People’s Choice vote of our shortlist in this category
