An international student panel were able to put a series of uncompromising questions to the writer, Sophia Stewart.
Viewmagazine.tv has also been given the go-ahead to feature The Apprentice - the South African version - with interviews from the producers.
The move, says viewmagazine.tv creator and University of Westminster senior lecturer, David Dunkley Gyimah, further indicates how broadband is challenging the ground of television, and appointment-based television is on its last legs as reported recently in an article by NYT's John Markoff.
“The Apprentice was one of the most watched series on South African TV impressing the original show's producers”, says producer Billy White.
Viewmagazine.tv's will feature a segment of the final cliff-hanging show.
Regional press go podcasting This is another milestone for the site which picked up first place at the prestigious US Batten Awards for Innovations in Journalism, which only recently posted a film of an ambitious pioneering UK project: 8 Days.
8 Days illustrates how regional newspaper journalists, under the guidance of the Press Association are training to become videojournalists and videopodcasters. David was hired also to implement and carry out the training, which features in January's media magazine, The Producers.
ipTV forging ahead
What the national newspapers made of the web 10 years ago; an exclusive podcast interview with the writer suing the Matrix film makers for allegedly plagiarising her script; and David's presentation at Apple Regent street and their new centre in Birmingham, are some of the new video posts.
“I don't believe appointment-based TV is dead," David commented, “but it is instructive to look at how Pathe News in cinemas was once the norm.
"8mbit download speeds which will mirror TV transmission rates will be here pretty soon. The question is whether the Net and TV can co-exist," he added.
Video hyper links, which David demonstrated as an invited speaker at the American Online News Association is one of the features he believes will become more prominent in 2006.
