2. Tripleplay – coordination between internet, radio and television
3. Pilotproject – local tv
4. Videonation
5. User generated content
Mrs. Bhalla stressed on the position of the BBC towards the public in the so-called “Charter review” and especially on the public values in its different ways (democratic, cultural, educational and social). This topic araised a great interest among the Bavarian colleagues. Examples about active and informed citizenship were shown too.
Further aspects were also mentioned like the building of a digital UK or how to measure performance.
The presentation was followed by a 30-minute-discussion. Citizen journalism in general and video journalism were some of the topics debated on.

Beside the Circom-Briefing, the CoR also provided a TV-Studio placed near the Investors-Café, this was available to all journalists free off charge. The service included the use of four camera-crews and editing-suites.
