“NPT NEWSREELS” WILL BE WEBCAST
FROM 2007 NPT PREPCOM MEETING
VIENNA,
Austria --
The International Law Campaign and BanningTheBomb.tv will be producing NPT
Newsreels – webcast
video reports using MacBook Pro Laptops, with iSight webcams -- to
focus the world's attention on the nuclear disarmament negotiations
taking place during the Non-Proliferation Treaty meeting, from April
30 - May 11, 2007, in Vienna, Austria.
“I
hope that this project becomes a model for NGOs at international
meetings to get their message out,” said Stephanie Fraser,
producer of BanningTheBomb.tv. “Computer technology and software
has evolved such that anyone with a computer, a webcam and broadband
internet access can easily produce video reports like the NPT
Newsreels and be heard by millions of people."
BanningTheBomb.tv is working with the International Law Campaign, the
Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and other
organizations to promote the 2007 NPT Preparatory Committee meeting
for the 2010 Review Conference.
BanningTheBomb.tv is an independent new media project
working to highlight efforts in the nuclear and disarmament arena by
webcasting reports, interviews and presentations from international
disarmament meetings.
