TVLink Europe: a web-site tailor-made for TV professionals

The TVLink Europe web-site has been designed to meet the needs of audiovisual journalists by helping them to provide better coverage of European issues. The site enables journalists to illustrate European subjects through the distribution of video reports that can be ordered directly on-line. These video reports are also accompanied by a full description of the images used in each film, transcripts of the commentary and interviews.

The TVLink Europe site enables journalists to view (via video streaming) the various VNRs on offer. If the subject is of interest, please feel free to request a copy in professional format. (lien actif avec Comment obtenir nos reportages)

The TVLink web-site is managed by Mostra, an agency based in Brussels and specialised in audio-visual production.

Our services to the TV Press

In collaboration with the European institutions, Mostra offers a full support service to TV and radio journalists covering European news and issues. Our agency produces around 40 video news reports or Video News Releases (VNR's) per year.

We offer the following services:

  • Distribution of video material (reports and « rushes ») in Betacam or DV-Cam
  • Timely delivery of Media Alerts by e-mail informing journalists about new video reports
  • Provision of background information packs with a direct link to video reports on the TVLink Europe site

The average length of our reports is 8 to 10 minutes in "broadcast" quality. Pegged to current events, these reports illustrate decisions taken at European level in a variety of areas, through real-life examples filmed in different European countries. These reports are totally free of rights and available free of charge to all journalists and interested TV channels.
