Heart-TV

Formerly Mission Doncaster TV, Heart-TV is a media technology project of One Heart One Voice.

The project helps Churches by:

  • Developing live broadcast facilities for services and events
  • Developing a range of community based web TV channels
  • Developing web-based applications that can support Church activities
  • Developing the use of mobile technologies within Church communities
  • Providing case-studies relating to a range of Church technology projects

Heart-TV is part of the South Yorkshire Digital Region. The Digital Region is a new broadband network being installed right across South Yorkshire that will offer the increased upload speeds needed for video broadcasting.

Citizen Journalism

Heart-TV will provide opportunities for the development of Citizen Journalism. The idea behind Citizen Journalism is that people without professional journalism training can use the tools of modern technology and the global distribution of the Internet to create, augment or fact-check media on their own or in collaboration with others. Heart-TV Citizen Journalism will play an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing and disseminating news and information.

This project will focus on exploring how churches within One Heart One Voice can connect together using powerful web-based technologies.

Who is supporting Heart-TV?

We have teamed up with a number of strategic partners, including Digital Regional Broadband South Yorkshire, Fern Creative and Mirata to explore how Churches across our network can benefit from high speed Internet access and web based applications.

One Heart One Voice currently uses a range of technologies to facilitate the work of the network, these include email list management, SMS broadcast facilities, TV / Web-cast production and a range of other web services. Heart-TV will enable Churches in our network to not only share resources, but to also be able to broadcast their activities on-line.
