Media channels covering parliaments
 

In most EU countries, TV and internet channels emit programmes covering parliamentary activities. Some channels only cover news and activities of their own national parliament, while others, thanks to a fruitful collaboration established for years, relay activities and debates the European Parliament carries out.

Some channels are produced by their national parliament and are, therefore, strictly parliamentary. Others are produced by national broadcasters and cover parliamentary activities as part of their programmes.
