About WorldLink TV

MISSION

WorldLink TV is the first national network offering a global perspective on news, current events and culture, presenting viewpoints seldom covered in the U.S. media. We present first-run documentaries on global issues, current affairs series, international news, classic foreign feature films, and the best of world music. WorldLink TV's programming, combined with innovative use of two-way digital link-ups and our participatory web site, deepens audience engagement and encourages active participation.

PURPOSE

  •  
Focused on international coverage in the public interest.

Our participatory network brings the world's events, issues and cultures to audiences in the United States. We focus on critical global issues, from human rights, justice and conflict prevention to environmental protection, sustainable development and preserving cultural integrity in the face of globalization. We also present the music of diverse cultures from around the world.

   
  •  
Providing alternative perspectives.
  WorldLink TV's programming introduces American viewers to voices, nationalities, and perspectives not available in the US mainstream media. 90% of our programs have never been shown on U.S. television.
   
  •  
Broadening and deepening audience engagement and active participation.
   
  Our use of two-way digital technology and the web offer pathways to more information, interactive dialogue, and opportunities to contribute to featured causes.
   
  •  
Responding to the needs of a multi-national society.
  WorldLink TV works with leading producers from underrepresented communities to develop programs that address their issues, and to incorporate these communities directly in the viewer participation process.
   
  •  
Providing information to a culturally curious constituency.
  WorldLink TV serves the millions of Americans who desire to make positive change in our world. We hope to become their indispensable, daily point of reference - a trusted resource to enhance a life-long journey of personal, civic, humanitarian and intellectual growth.
