French news agency makes television

The globally active French news agency AFP is launching the new AFPTV International service. For the time being, the service comprises a good 150 short reports per month by AFP journalists from all over the world. The service is currently only available in French and English for websites and television stations. Other languages, including German, are to follow in the coming months, reports the news agency SDA. AFP not only wants to report news and features from the areas of politics and society, but also to serve customers with lifestyle topics. The news agency provides videos in different image resolutions and with separate audio tracks, edited ready for broadcast and as raw material.
