Reuters has launched a new YouTube Channel called Reuters TV covering hard news, finance, politics, technology and special investigations.
Reuters said the channel marks its entry into the ‘rapidly growing business of online video programming’and that it employs a ‘creative editing style that is suited for internet programming and does not mimic traditional TV”.
‘This deal with YouTube gives Reuters a way to showcase our collection of talented journalists and compelling video from around the world,” said Reuters global head of programming Dan Colarusso.
“It will offer unique insights and images that other media companies simply can’t match.”
