Our blip.tv channel will be active throughout the whole scheme, so do check
back for updates from time to time.

We¹re really sorry to report that due to a technology failure, we¹re unable
to put stories 5 and 6 online, these questions were:
 
How do we connect with key audiences about voluntary carbon offsetting, via
the digital platform? - posed by Sam Burkey from the Converging World
How can we harness the power of social networking and new technologies to
provide new and exciting entertainment propositions? - posed by Gavin
Henderson, Head of programmes at Presentable Television

If anyone from these groups would like to briefly write up the stories, we¹d
be happy to share them.
