Content Submission Guidelines

Short form digital video and podcasts

Digital Video


TVO occasionally works with independent journalists and producers to create digital video content. 


Main priorities of digital social video include:

  • Provides relevant and engaging information for our TVO Today audiences to better understand the world they live in;
  • Highly visual, optimized content that follows best practices for the platform intended, such as YouTube;
  • Preference given to current affairs digital series and content;
  • Follows journalistic practices of fairness and factual accuracy.

To pitch a short digital video idea briefly outline your idea focusing on why your story idea will engage an audience. Include a budget and timeline.

Podcasts


TVO will consider select podcast proposals. We are looking for inspired concepts and engaging content that is smart, emotional and helps our audience better understand the world they live in.


What is your podcast idea and how does it leverage the strengths of audio storytelling?


If your podcast already exists, what would you like to gain from a partnership with TVO?


To send a proposal, write an outline that considers the following:

  • What is your idea? Give us a short, strong statement on what it’s all about.
  • What is the genre?
  • Who is your audience?
  • What is your proposed structure?
  • What is your timeline and budget?

Examples include:
