The leading producer of online documentaries and training videos for homeland security professionals and students responds to the nation's economic crisis by making its broadcast-quality online programs available to universities and small to mid-size media outlets through highly affordable monthly syndication plans.

Burke, Virginia (PRWEB) June 7, 2009 -- Colleges, universities, training organizations and media outlets seeking to offer their online communities professional, high-quality homeland security video programming can now take advantage of Homeland Security Television's (http://www.hstvchannel.com) simple and affordable monthly syndication service.


Online video programming has become the hallmark of today's most progressive and innovative Web sites, particularly for those organizations in the education, training and media industries. However, with the economy forcing all organizations to tighten their budgets, many universities, training companies and mid-size media outlets are finding that high-quality, professionally produced homeland security video programming is financially out of reach.


Today, Homeland Security Television is changing that with the launch of custom, affordable 24/7 Syndication Services. Now, education and media firms in the homeland security market that want to provide their students and online audiences professional, broadcast-quality video programming that can be leveraged for continuing education and online community building can do so for a low monthly fee and no long-term contracts.


"Second only to actually going out there and producing educational programming for homeland security professionals, this is perhaps the most important thing we could do for our nation's diverse community of homeland security professionals," said Dan Verton, president and executive producer of HSTV.


"We're already beginning to see the impact of the economic downturn on the homeland security market, particularly in the area of training and awareness," said Verton. "One of the first things senior managers and leaders look to cut during difficult financial times is training. To those of us who have worked at the operational level in national security, it makes no sense, but it's true. Training and awareness is critical, but it is usually the first thing to be cut."


According to Verton, the media industry serving the nation's homeland security community is also feeling the effects of the economic downturn. And this too has led to a significant decline in the availability and quality of educational information for homeland security professionals.


"As a media professional who started out as a print journalist, I'm appalled at what I see happening in the world of print," said Verton. "Many of the homeland security journals and magazines today are so thin and devoid of serious journalism that they should really be considered marketing sheets and not magazines. Making matters worse, I cringe when I see once well-respected media outlets posting amateur 'handy-cam' videos and expecting their online viewers to approach them as serious educational programs."


HSTV's Online Syndication Service, however, can help you offer your audience professional video content that is based on the highest standards of journalism and powered by some of the nation's leading authorities in homeland security.
