South America

News and information from DW Portuguese for Brazil is now being featured on UOL (Universo Online SA), Brazil’s largest online portal and the world’s largest Portuguese-language news and information platform. After a recent cooperation agreement, UOL will now include a full-text DW feed on the website. The cooperation has the potential to greatly increase DW’s online audience – UOL boasts 29,8 million unique visitors and 4,2 billion page views every month along with 4.1 million Facebook fans.

Africa

DW news content in six languages for Africa will soon be able to reach a potential 900,000 users via BiNu– an application that allows low-tech or “feature phones” to have quick and easy access to the Internet. Target regions include Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, and especially, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe.

Asia

CTH, the Thai television provider and DW broadcasting partner, has increased its range of service and is now broadcasting via the Vinasat 2 satellite. The expansion will deliver CTH’s international programming package, which includes the English-language channel, DW, to 10,000 additional subscribers along with the millions of current cable subscribers. CTH is also planning to start a DVB-T service later this year which could reach a potential of one million new customers.  DW has been carried on CTH’s digital cable network since July 2013.

The Vietnamese cable provider, HCA TV, is once again broadcasting DW after an extended interruption in service. DW programming will be rebroadcast on the provider with Vietnamese subtitles.

The Taiwanese online news and information portal, Commonwealth, will now be including full-text DW content in Chinese. It is the first such cooperation outside of mainland China and will include reports from business, the environment, sports and education.

Europe

T24, the Turkish online news portal, is a new DW partner and will now be prominently placing full-text Turkish language articles from DW on the website. T24 is renowned for independent and quality journalism in an increasingly draconian Turkish media landscape, having won an award from the Turkish Journalists Society in 2010.  It is one of the most-quoted online sources in Turkish media and features content from more than 30 prominent authors and journalists.

Online

DW is now on Instagram with Inside DW, a new part of DW’s customer service website, MyDW, which features a look behind the scenes at the work of DW’s journalists, producers and correspondents.

The many faces of DW https://blogs.dw.com/insider/2014/02/27/the-the-many-faces-of-dw/ Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:07:24 +0000 http://blogs.dw.com/insider/?p=2997 The many faces of DWDW’s audience comes from all walks of life and every corner of the world. They personify the values that DW stands for and represent the diversity and possibility of a new globalized generation. As an international provider of news, information and learning, DW reaches its audience in many different ways. That is the focus of DW’s new corporate brochure which showcases some of the things we do best and introduces you to a group of individuals who exemplify our goals.

These are people like Hala Mahdy, a journalist from Cairo who whose daily work is a testament to DW’s values of journalistic integrity in the face of harsh conditions. Or there is Hakan Aldogan, an architect from Istanbul whose creativity and cosmopolitan outlook represent the young generation in Turkey. Mark Kaigwa from Nairobi is an international representative of Africa’s growing digital generation who has participated in DW’s Bobs awards. You can get to know more about them and the other interesting people being featured on the MyDW website.

It’s a great overview of the things we do best, whether it is DW-Akademie, the annual Global Media Forum or our internationally acclaimed television programming.  Take a moment and get a crisp and compact overview of the news, culture, entertainment and education that connects with millions of people every day and meet some of them who embody what DW is striving for- maybe you’ll find something in common.
