About

WORLDbytes is a unique online Citizen TV channel set up and run by the education charity WORLDwrite. WORLDbytes works with volunteers to craft well shot programmes with something new to say by promoting serious research and discussion and providing intensive practical training on shoots for actual programmes. Volunteers learn in the studio and out on the streets and contribute far more than the usual sound bites. Volunteers plan programmes, interview experts, academics and policy makers, create scripts for lighter hearted items, form crews and learn to disseminate and distribute their programmes worldwide. We believe Citizen TV has a vital role to play in covering the ideas and stories rarely told, without the constraints of commissioners’ whims, mainstream "ratings" wars and fears of upsetting conventional wisdom. There is a different tale to be told and WORLDbytes’ motto is "Don’t shout at the telly, change the message on it".
