Under the tagline, ‘The world is thinking’, the site provides access to hundreds of delightful talks, conversations, conferences, debates, and more than a few stimulating arguments. Drawing on a broad range of new media experts, FORA.tv brings together content from the Hoover Institution, the Global Philanthropy Forum, the World Affairs Council, the American Jewish Committee, and dozens of other organizations. First-time visitors to the site can take a look through the ‘Popular Programs’ section, and then maybe they might want to look over the FORA.tv blog. For users who don’t find any of the programs to their liking, they should make a beeline for the ‘Pitch a Program’ section.”
