  16. Main problems and limits Interviews format is still too institutional and rigid: more informal approach is needed RAINEWS24 is a too focused channel, with a well defined audience Video interviews are published neither on the ESA site nor on RAINEWS24 site ESA portal (www.esa.int) is not linked from www.rainews24.rai.it In spite of its nature, RAINEWS24 has a strong “technological inertia”, e.g.: Rainews24 has problems to get the video transmitted by ESA television,so that we often must record it on a beta support and carry the cassette from ESRIN to Saxa Rubra by car (40 km) !!!!!!! CAP 2005,Garching, 14-17 June

  17. The deepest use of astronomy Final remarks • Astronomy is now seen by Rainews24 as a possible • sourceofdaily news. • Solar System is the window on the outer space. • ESA is moving toward a less formal communication • ESRIN recognizes and promotes the professionality • of a scientific communicator • Estimated total broadcasting time for astronomy: 5-7 minutes for week • Full texts are published on ESA italian site on Friday From May 2000 to June 2005, more than60 interviews were broadcasted, giving an estimated total time of more than 1000 minutes dedicated to astronomy CAP 2005,Garching, 14-17 June
