Political Information Opportunities in Europe: A Longitudinal and Comparative Study of Thirteen Television Systems
The International Journal of Press/Politics July 2012 17: 247-274

This study examines the supply of political information programming across thirteen European broadcast systems over three decades. The cross-national and cross-temporal design traces the composition and development of political information environments with regard to the amount and placement of news and current affairs programs on the largest public and private television channels. It finds that the televisual information environments of Israel and Norway offer the most advantageous opportunity structure for informed citizenship because of their high levels of airtime and a diverse scheduling strategy. The study contributes to political communication research by establishing “political information environments” as a theoretically and empirically grounded concept that informs and supplements the comparison of “media systems.” If developed further, it could provide an information-rich, easy-to-measure macro-unit for future comparative research.

From news coverage to live internet streaming, from managing EP audiovisual facilities to supporting AV journalists covering Parliament activities from outside or within: these are the main activities of the Audiovisual Unit of the European Parliament, a large and dynamic team, providing AV journalists both with content and technical services.

Keeping up to date on recent developments in audiovisual and multimedia technology, at the AV Unit of the European Parliament talented professionals work together with a common mission: to support AV journalists in Video, Radio and Photo production; transmission, promotion and distribution.  

These services, available in Brussels and Strasbourg, include: live video recording of plenary sessions (both satellite & web transmission), committee meetings (webstreamed live & VOD), broad news coverage of events available on the EU satellite service EbS, as well as audio recordings (& podcasts) of meetings/events and photo reportages.  All audiovisual materials produced in the EP are stored in the Media Library- the precious AV archives.

All these services are free of charge and are just a few clicks away, on the Audiovisual Website:


This website, especially targeted to media professionals, was created to help transfer through a highly performing FTP all audiovisual medias (video, audio and photo) produced by the European Parliament. On top of it, the website is also the main gateway to book EP Audiovisual Unit's technical facilities, both in Brussels and in Strasbourg.
