Speaking to Journalism.co.uk at the Digital News Affairs 2009 (DNA) conference, Matteo Berlucchi, CEO of Livestation, explained why building participation around live news is the next step.

“Live TV news online isn’t perceived as a premium product. Live content is perfect for aggregating people, because we’re all watching the same thing at the same time,” he said. best forex brokers in nigeria
