Netherlands Media

I found a Dutch television station called Jeugdjournaal on beelinetv.com. I watched a Netherlands news program with a segment on what seemed to be elementary education. Though I didn't understand a word that was said, I did find it interesting that there were many interviews with young kids, which you usually don't see in the U.S. Also the anchor was a young woman probably in her late 20s or early 30s which was interesting. It was vaguely reminicent of an MTV style news program, not in regard to program content (I think) but to the anchor choice and modern-style set. Though there was an obvious language barrier, I can see how access to a Netherlands news program might be useful for someone studying the Dutch language or someone who has recently emmigrated from the country and wants to stay connected.

Yes, it is interesting how accessing these programs makes us feel closer and more distant (language barrier) simultaneously.
