Founded in 1993, European news channel, Euronews, is celebrating its 20th anniversary. With 400 journalists from some 30 countries broadcasting in a dozen languages, the channel has managed to develop an image that appeals to a broad audience, from German businessmen to Egyptian protesters.
A small country with just 6 million inhabitants, Denmark is now a rising star in the world of television thanks to well-crafted series like “Borgen”. Developed by a production system that is unlike any other, the shows owe much of their success to the almost total freedom granted to screenwriters.

Sober and incisive, "Vieni via con me" co-presented by anti-Mafia writer, Roberto Saviano, has set new ratings records in the land of Berlusconi. In the run-up to the last programme of the four episode series scheduled for 29 November, Italian television guru, Carlo Freccero, analyses the reasons for its success.
