Euronews forms global partnership
31 May 2011
Euronews is to partner with music artist Jean Michel Jarre, in an alliance that will lead to a number of initiatives.
Euronews and Jarre are currently exploring a range of collaborative projects on themes such as innovation in images, sound, the media and emerging technologies, which starts with Euronews accompanying the artist on his European and global tours. The channel will also be covering the release of his upcoming albums.
Euronews will give an exclusive broadcast of Jarre’s concert for the Royal wedding in Monaco on 1 July. The show will rebroadcast on a special edition of the channel’s, No Comment Live and across all its platforms.
“The contact with Jean Michel Jarre has convinced us that an international news channel like Euronews can venture into new territory by creating such an original partnership,” said Michael Peters, managing director, Euronews. “We have found a synergy in the uniting of two different worlds and Euronews is proud to accompany Jarre and his team on their worldwide audio-visual explorations.”
