Imagine if each newspaper article or TV/Radio show attached a candid, unedited audio or video recording of the people interviewed for each story? Would the way you get your news seem a little different?

Almost every written story on Good News Broadcast attaches an original, unedited, non-judgemental, non-sectarian, non-political audio or video interview with the people behind the articles. So, rather than just reading our write up, our audience can go straight to our news sources and make their own decision about the content. We provide all the media resources to bring the audience into the action, to let them decide for themselves about the news. You should always follow your own heart said “The Little Prince”, as with that you can see rightly.

We encourage you to make your mark to investors, lawmakers, and citizens from around the World as a sponsor and supporter of the publication, and let the World know that you support people and organizations who care about doing good things for the benefit of all kinds of communities.We offer the following information to those seeking to place content on Good News Broadcast:

‘Good News’ Brand Essence: A place where people can participate in news media in positive ways.

‘Good News’ Brand Promise: We promise to provide voice, in audio, video and text media, and any emerging technology platform that helps to fairly present constructive, unbiased, newsworthy information to all audiences – without preference to any single political, religious, business or social agenda. ‘Good News’ Brand Tone and Manner: Positive, life-affirming, thought-provoking, and up-beat. Content Example One: We would cover news about an earthquake just like any other news organization. To make the story ‘Good News’, we cover multi-national relief efforts , provide unedited audio and video interviews for download, and offer information how our audience can participate in those efforts. r />
Content Example Two: We would cover the introduction of a new medicine for heart attack patients. Because Good News is defined as presenting the story without preference to any business agenda over another, we merely present the product as ‘a solution’, but not ‘the best solution’. We then give the audience resources to do their own research and supply the various media resources we can to help audiences make a decision about the story.

ABOUT MILESTONE BROADCAST CORPORATION

Milestone Broadcast Corporation is an integrated media management, licensing and production company building international communities and audiences around entertainment and businesses that are focused on promoting good will.

Today’s rapidly-changing and highly competitive media industry faces a profound financing issue: media consumers are increasingly resistant to traditional advertising: a critical financial resource for the media industry and the content communities it supports.

Milestone Broadcast Corporation (MBC) helps media owners finance content supply operations by offering advertisers access to an emerging content-driven sponsorship model we call “Content for Community”.

Through Content for Community, MBC gives brand advertisers and media owners an alternative to buying or selling ad space on a variety of media. We help advertisers create and supply searchable content the media owner’s content communities seek. Content communities are measurable audience groups defined by content viewing habits, content delivery systems, brand preferences, social networks, purchasing behavior, lifestyle, ethnicity, and culture. With this model, the advertiser builds brand awareness and relevance by using MBC to manage the process of taking on some of the media owner’s production and distribution costs of supplying a content community. This model allows the media owner to improve the depth and utility of its content offerings while giving the advertiser visibility to highly targeted content communities. In effect, we are refining the tactic of product placement and sponsored content with information technology and our decades of experience in production and multi-cultural and niche media management.

Service Example: For a fee or licensing rights, MBC helps a popular Consumer Brand (which has a 74,000 member fan club) enhance the relevance and awareness of its brand by delivering a regular three minute home improvement video show to its fan club and related content communities. The content remains searchable and available on-demand. Furthermore, MBC would help the consumer brand syndicate a home improvement column, sponsor an event, publish a book, or develop incentive programs for consumers to access exclusive content. Given the consumer’s wariness of overt advertising, the difference in MBC’s creative approach is that content is never positioned as advertising or overtly promotional, but as public service or goodwill outreach, which further helps build the goodwill equity associated with the Consumer Brand.

The effectiveness of our product is determined by our ability to identify, target and supply content to content communities on behalf of advertisers and the media industry. Our effectiveness is also dependent on our ability to create new business relationships and forge partnerships and content rights of way with network owners.

To identify and supply these content communities, MBC has based its content creation and distribution product upon decades of experience in multicultural, ethnic, and niche marketing, broadcasting, PR, traditional media strategies, events, streaming content, branding, and media buying.

To ensure a robust and effective content supply, MBC already owns the performance rights to a deep library of over 2,000 audio and video stories; content featuring top celebrities and experts. MBC ensures the continued growth and value of its biggest tangible asset, its content archive, through a strong content pipeline supplied daily by no-conflict relationships with over 30 public relations agencies delivering lifestyle stories and celebrity guests.

To support its vital capabilities in search marketing, the company employs a time-tested content management system (plus editorial style) that integrates perfectly with strategies of major contextually-based search engines.

To support its relationships with advertisers and the media industry, MBC has a powerful, award-winning philanthropy (Good News Corporation, 501c3) and a media brand called Good News Broadcast that brings enormous good will, customers and critical network partnerships to the company.

MBC’s Content for Community model is perfectly positioned to help a rapidly-changing and highly competitive media industry seek new sources of funding through advertisers. Advertisers and media companies that engage MBC will find MBC the ideal content provider and media partner to help finance, supply and license lifestyle news, entertainment, and event content for use in niche, segmented customer-driven Content Communities.

ABOUT THE MILESTONE BROADCAST CORPORATION (MBC) BRANDS

* Good News Broadcast™ * Good News Planet™ * Good News Corporation 501 C 3 Non Profit

MBC has positioned its services and content strategy around brands that promote positive solutions and entertainment, and we have become a strong market competitor and supplier to audiences and their families who are turning against content distributors who sensationalize violence, human suffering, and devastation as a part of their content strategy.

MBC has positioned its first major content brands Good News Broadcast™, Good News Planet™ around positive, life-affirming, thought provoking news, entertainment, and events.

These brands are neither aligned with nor preferential to any product or political and religious ideology.

MBC currently has content marketing partnerships and sponsorship relationships with IBM, Senior Net, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Heartwarmers, American Dream, National Arts Club, World Island, Club Getaway, World Water Rescue Foundation, We the World, New Seminary and numerous other partners. Today, MBC receives stories from over 40 communications agencies and their clients. Hundreds of organizations have contributed their Good News over the last seven and on half years. Over 5,000 original stories and performances have been recorded and made available upon demand throughout the World. As these organizations have discovered, the Good News Broadcast brand is available to help individuals, organizations and corporations promote their own businesses under our goodwill value. Good News Broadcast™ does have competition from positive media as well. These media feature content strategies based on spirituality, philanthropy, lifestyles, health and positive news and entertainment.

Good News Broadcast™ competes with ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ media by using MBC’s content creation, management and distribution technologies, developed and tested over the past seven and a half years. These technologies facilitate sponsor access to commercial opportunities with their audiences.

We must also note the promotional strategy employed by Good News Broadcast™ . The promotional strategy leverages the architecture supporting the Internet to firmly entrench its content within most search engines. The strategy is a low-cost ‘viral marketing’ strategy that leverages other content suppliers and their audiences to increase Good News Broadcast’s visibility. As a result, Good News Broadcast™ content can be found in the top ten search rankings of major search engines once it is deployed.

Good News Broadcast™ is rapidly increasing its viewership. For example, average monthly hits increased 700% from our inception. The number of unique visitors (determined by web logs of unique IP addresses) doubled during this same period. Please note that these numbers have not yet been audited by an accredited third party. However, we believe that through the viral marketing strategy and the continuous addition of new content, audience sizes will grow exponentially over the course of the coming year. These numbers may also increase through a traditional advertising campaign, or by placing content on traditional broadcast media such as print and television.

The content distributed on MBC’s Good News Broadcast™ technology platform is primarily multimedia content, which may have been previously unavailable to potential audiences due to bandwidth constraints. We anticipate that future audience growth will come from the improvement of the distribution technology and the increasing penetration of residential broadband access into homes. In addition to its investment in this technology platform, MBC is making proposals to other media like TV, radio, satellite, cellular, print and cellular phone providers to carry “Good News” Branded content.

MBC will leverage twenty years of multicultural and niche marketing expertise to expand its audiences globally for “Good News” Brands. Niche markets include the African, Asian, Native American, Indian, European, Hispanic and Middle Eastern community markets. Other niche markets include Seniors, Children, Women, and the Gay & Lesbian communities. “Good News” Branded content is delivered in Chinese, German, Japanese, Spanish and other languages.

The “Good News” brands have created an enormous competitive advantage for MBC over other emerging and existing content providers. The brands have the capabilities to open doors to all kinds of markets and audiences, and MBC’s management has the expertise to grow the “Good News” Brands significantly over the next five years.
