VAART-bericht van: Elisa van Oosten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Het Bureau Voorlichting Binnenvaart is benaderd door een Engelstalige journaliste van 'Deutsche Welle'. Zij wil graag meer te weten komen over de binnenvaart door in gesprek te komen met binnenvaartondernemers en een stuk mee te varen. Hieronder leest u haar motivatie voor dit verzoek. Mocht u deze wens kunnen inwilligen, wilt u dan contact opnemen met het BVB, tel. 010 - 412 91 51.
Dank voor uw aandacht en met vriendelijke groet, BVB team Deutsche Welle is Germany's international media organisation with television and radio broadcast via satellite and also an online news network. It is considered to be a link to Germany for German speakers around the world but it also broadcasts in several other languages, including English, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. I work for the English online site. We focus mainly on German and European issues ranging from politics and economics to culture and travel. You may have a look at www.dw-online.de to see exactly what we do. My motivations for the feature and particularly for wanting to interview people who work on the ships and possibly travel with them is two fold; on a personal level I am interested because every day I ride my bicycle to work along the Rhine and I see the ships passing by. I always wonder where are they going? What is their cargo? What is life like for the people who live on these ships? Secondly, I noticed that the European Commission would like to promote the use of inland shipping and that one of the ways they would like to do this is through the media. I think the public would be very interested in learning about the important role inland shipping plays in Europe and also about the kind of life people live on these ships and also the career opportunities offered by the industry. A personal account of life on a ship I think would greatly assist in helping readers to understand the realities of inland navigation. I realise that a request to spend some time on a ship is a big one, however I am flexible regarding the timing of this. The only problem is that someone on board would need to speak some English (or Italian as I can speak this fluently) in order for me to interview them properly. * Voor vrije overloop? http://www.umaghetzeggen.nl/?topicid=3153 * Het adres voor reacties en nieuwe berichten: [email protected] * Afmelden op: [EMAIL PROTECTED] met tekst: unsubscribe VAART-L
