Do you have video clips or productions
you think we should show on the Video News from TAC?
We invite you to let us know!
We will consider video clips between 2 and 25 minutes in
length. Each must have an intriguing story associated with
it and have some connection with archaeology or cultural
heritage, including indigenous cultures. Here are some examples
of what we are thinking of:
- A short produced documentary-style
video that tells a story without further assistance or interpretation
- Footage from a field discovery
illustrating the find and the reaction of the archaeologists
- A news report from a field
or laboratory project explaining the purpose, strategy and
results of the project
- An interview with a news-maker
- An opinion piece highlighting
an important issue
If you have a new idea, tell
us about it!
We will select the contributions
for broadcast on the basis of these criteria:
How compelling is the story?
How well is the story told? Is it enjoyable to watch? Will
our audience like it?
Production qualities of the video
Does the story make a new contribution?
Does the story help us balance our coverage of topics and
geographic areas?
We will not accept submitted
content that is inappropriate or not consistent with our
public mission. By submitting your material, you give us
permission to show it both on TAC and on the cable TV channels
we select as venues for the show.
If we select your content,
we will ask you to provide background information and Web
links to help us optimize the value of the contribution
for our audience.
To submit your content, first
send a short content proposal to videonewsTAC@archaeologychannel.org.
Describe what you have in mind and include a short video
sample. If we want to review the content beyond that, we
will ask you to send us a full-scale review copy.
We look forward to hearing
from you!
