Dear press@fora.tv,

I am both an active Wikimedian, and a senior member of the Wikinews community; a sister site to Wikipedia where we do our best to work as citizen journalists.

I have encountered Fora.TV content in the past and found it to be extremely well put together, intelligent and articulate, and have just made use of a couple of the "teasers" on your YouTube channel to illustrate points on Facebook and elsewhere.

I would love to see this content on Wikipedia, and have the option to use it in my home project, Wikinews.

Of course, I would not expect you to make available your full-length features, it is the 5-10 minute excerpts on YouTube I'd like.

This would involve releasing these excerpts under a quite liberal license and uploading them to Wikipedia's media repository.

I would be delighted to discuss the potential issues with this, and some of the technical considerations.

As a participant on Wikinews, an arrangement enabling this would be particularly newsworthy to me - and an opportunity to illustrate an article with samples of these excerpts.

I would also expect that one or more of these excerpts would end up featuring on your Wikipedia page[1], putting it in a rare class - Wikipedia articles with video content.

Regards,
