Hi friends,
Something I think will be interesting for some of you.
Can such partnership could be consider as GLAM as well?

Hi,
We happy announce a new partnership with the Israeli News Company, which
produces the primetime news program on Israel’s Channel 2. For the past 23
years, Channel 2 News has covered the history of Israel and the Middle
East, as well as events around the world.
The partnership is aiming to introduce a hundred new video files
