The Eurasian Broadcasting Group (EBG) is Eurasia's response to the great international news networks of developed, powerful nations, as well as Eurasia's attempt to promote public diplomacy and soft power.

Purposes

EBG's purposes are

• to offer reliable, objective, unbiased news regarding issues of international importance
• to keep viewers constantly up to date on major events
• to cover a wide variety of events in an objective manner, and comment on them in depth, to generate debate and help viewers understand the root causes and issues of events
• to increase awareness of issues considered important in Eurasia and around the globe
• to focus on the cultures and societies of an extremely wide variety of nations and societies, to promote greater awareness, understanding and acceptance of diversity
• To inform, educate and entertain
• To serve everyone and enrich people's lives

Broadcasting

EBG has three medias of expression. It is, above all, a television channel, broadcasting internationally. But it also has a website (news.ebg.co.eu), which includes both written articles and a continuous video feed, displaying the same as the television channel, along with hundreds of radio channels.

Television

EBG broadcasts 24 hours a day, and offers a 30 minute news update every hour. Every other half hour is used for in-depth coverage and analysis of current events and issues, and may for example be a report on indigenous culture in a particular country, a report on deforestation in some part of the world, a look at the evolution of social policies and their results in one or more countries, coverage of a specific cultural festival, a report on a new museum somewhere in the world, an in-depth look at how globalisation affects the world, an interview with a writer, musician or historian, a study of a specific branch of philosophy and its relevance in contemporary society, an analysis of political tensions in a particular part of the world...

Programmes may be in English, Arabic or Pacitalian. The news is usually read in English. Whenever one language is spoken, subtitles are provided in the other two languages. When a fourth language is spoken (usually by a person being interviewed), subtitles are in all three languages. In addition, many programmes broadcast into other nations feature that nations' primary languages

Website

EBG's website is available in English, Arabic and Hindi, with each version being quasi-identical. More basic, far less complete versions exist in Arabic [1], Russian, Spanish and Dutch. The website is divided into several sections, including "Eurasia", various geographical regions, "World", "Culture", "Environment", "Politics", "Sport", "Special In-Depth Reports" and "Have Your Say".

Each section contains written news articles, usually accompanied by EBG commentaries and analyses. Most also provide access to records of video feeds. The website aims at extensive coverage of major and "minor" events and issues from around the world, in so far as the channel's limited financial means enable.
