UNifeed enables news providers to cover important global issues by offering timely broadcast-quality video from throughout the UN system.

Material is currently available in two formats: web-quality Windows Media and broadcast-quality MPEG-2 PAL and NTSC for broadcast use. All material is also accompanied by shot lists and story synopses.

The video is available free of charge and rights-free. We simply ask you to register and log in to access the broadcast-quality video.

Stories come from the global network of UN specialized agencies, funds and programmes, Peacekeeping Operations and UN headquarters. New stories are posted on the UNifeed website as soon as they become available on a daily basis (excluding Sundays).

Broadcast-quality video for UNifeed stories is available online for two weeks. Should you wish to request older material, please contact the agency source of the material. For UNTV or peacekeeping stories, please contact the UN Video Library.

UNifeed also delivers stories through Associated Press Television News (APTN) to its clients around the world in a ten-minute package transmitted by satellite twice daily (Monday- Saturday 2145-2155 / 0145-0155 GMT). For more information, contact APTN Broadcast Services.

UNifeed was created by the UN's Department of Public Information and UNICEF in response to the growing global demand for timely video material with an international focus. It is also supported by UNHCR, UNDP, the World Bank and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations.
