Although we are TV experts in our field, we do not want to produce programmes which we think reflect Mediation but will make our TV project an open platform with contributions form many sources into the TV production process.

There are three key features to our TV programming:

1. Target Audience Participation

Our TV programming will be successful in creating lasting change and acceptance of Mediation where there is empowerment between consumers, business and Mediators and local institutions, courts and government bodies. Thus participation from Commercial enterprises is actively encouraged and essential to bring an interactive and relevant element to our TV output.

2. Partnership

Our approach to Mediation TV is one of documentary style programming. Whilst maintaining editorial control we are pleased to utilize our national TV media platform to publicize the great benefits of mediation and make this ADR process highly visible and applicable to all.

We are far removed from the traditional TV approach where your participation would be limited to Guest appearances. Our approach by contrast is to facilitate, not direct your involvement in the TV shows. Thus your input will be welcomed with the content and development of shows.

3. Long Haul

The TV project’s goal goes beyond simply ‘introducing mediation’ into a legal system, and focuses more on raising awareness amongst business decision makers about the new world of mediation and that can be sustained over a long period of time. The impact and popularity of the TV broadcast will not lead to an instant acceptance but will require sustained and long term programming with many strands.
