The European Union has launched its own YouTube channel. This way, it will be able to promote some of its actions through short movies. I personnally think it is a good initiative because some European citizens feel the European Union is a lot of bureaucracy and nothing concrete. However, what will be the real impact of this:

  • who knows that this account exists in YouTube?
  • what is the ratio of persons watching movies through YouTube on the Internet vs watching TV programs?

I guess it is cheaper to broadcast these films this way.

Here are the movies I have chosen to illustrate this post.

Dealing with AIDS

One of a film series promoting EU financial aids towards producers

About research programs

There are more videos on other topics like roaming, global warming... Check them out here.
