FORA.tv Named to The Sunday Telegraph’s Best Education Websites

Recognized for the web’s largest collection of video featuring “lectures, offbeat travel advice, trivia and mind-expanding” programs

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2009 -- FORA.tv, the leading destination and distributor of smart video programs, has been honored by Britain’s Sunday Telegraph as one of the Web’s Best Education Sites.

“FORA.tv amasses video from public events and colloquia,” write the Sunday Telegraph editors, “from Alicia Silverstone talking about veganism at a bookshop to Noam Chomsky on language at the Commonwealth Club.”

"We’re tremendously honored that the educational value of our smart video programming is being recognized," says Blaise Zerega, president and CEO of FORA.tv. "It speaks to the strong partnerships we have with top universities, conferences, and think tanks, and the benefits that viewers get from our site.”

The Sunday Telegraph award recognizes those Web sites “that assist and promote outside the classroom.” The newspaper’s list of best education websites includes the National Geographic, BBC Language, and iTunes. The November 15, 2009 edition of the Sunday Telegraph will feature an extensive article about the Best Education Websites in its Seven magazine.

FORA.tv partners with more than 160 organizations from the Aspen Institute to Georgetown University to the EG Conference to the Chautauqua Institution to provide the Web’s largest library of smart, issues-oriented video. The company is helping reshape the way audiences discover and engage with media. FORA.tv programs are available on top sites like Hulu, TV.com, The Daily Beast, and The Huffington Post, as well as the iPhone and other mobile devices.
