24 News TV Channel and Interfax-Ukraine launching project to broadcast press conferences

The 24 News TV Channel and the Interfax-Ukraine News Agency are launching a project on broadcasting press conferences from the agency's press center. Press conferences of general interest to viewers and of significant social importance will be organized as part of the project. Representatives of central and local government, political parties, public organizations, and large-, medium- and small-scale businesses are to be invited to hold press conferences for later broadcasting. The 24 news TV channel will film the events held at the Interfax-Ukraine news agency's press center and prepare programs for broadcasting. The press conferences will be held from 1000 to 1300. After the press conference is finished the recorded material will be edited into a program lasting up to 15 minutes. Only the key moments of the press conference will be included in the televised programs, which will take the form of reports about press conferences. The program will be aired on the 24 TV Channel first between 1800 and 2300 on the day the press conferences are held, and later between midnight and 0130. Information about the press conferences will be published by Interfax-Ukraine in compliance with the agency's information standards. At the customer's request, the agency can monitor the reporting of press conferences in other mass media. Applications for hosting press conferences are accepted by phone (044) 270 7465, +380 50 385 8088 (Maryna Zgarda) or by e-mail [email protected].
