MKR-MEDIA, a Russian media holding, has initiated the formation of a united international editorial board on the basis of TV BRICS integrated multimedia platform for the BRICS countries. TV BRICS was launched on the Russian Federation territory in 2017, which was the first real step towards the development of the common information space of the five states to accelerate the processes of the joint economic development.
Over one year of its existence, TV BRICS has established an extensive network of information partners, by signing agreements with the major international information agencies of the BRICS countries, including Xinhua news agency and Renmin Ribao, China, and ANA media group (African News Agency), South Africa. Overall, more than 30 memorandums have been signed.
At the Media Forum, MKR-MEDIA Media Holding put forward the initiative to form a united international editorial board for the TV BRICS platform. The proposal has become a consistent step in the platform development, whose strategic goal is to promote economic, educational, scientific and cultural cooperation among the five nations through information exchange. The editorial policy of TV BRICS will be based on equitable cooperation with information partners in each of the BRICS countries.
The creation of the multimedia platform will ensure the delivery of varied content to the target audiences through all the existing media channels. At the BRICS Media Forum in Cape Town, the international TV BRICS network was presented by Alexandre Gorelik, the TV BRICS Director for Cooperation with International Organizations.

"A good and thoughtful presentation and a short and very dynamic video created the proper background for the TV BRICS idea to be conveyed to the professional audience. On the podium already the colleagues expressed their appreciation of the concept proposed by MKR-MEDIA. Now we continue informal negotiations to attract new supporters to the initiative, " says Alexandre Gorelik,  TV BRICS Director for Cooperation with International Organizations.

The development of TV BRICS is one of the priority tasks for MKR-MEDIA media holding, that sees the creation of innovative media products capable of changing the world by erasing information boundaries between countries and continents as the basis for its activities.
