When the Dalai Lama received his Congressional medal on Oct. 17, 2007,
thousands of Tibetan monks watched from a across the globe via New Media
Mill’s world-wide webcast.
The webcast provided five hours of uninterrupted streaming, from the
medal ceremony with President George W. Bush to speeches outside by
dignitaries and celebrities, including Richard Gere.
New Media Mill’s live streaming servers registered 47,000 hits during
the ceremony and another 20,000 in the month that followed.
“We were delighted with the results of our collaboration with New Media
Mill,” said Sarah Clifton, Direct Marketing manager for the
International Campaign to Save Tibet. “Without question, the strategic
services of New Media Mill multiplied the impact of ICT's work.”
On-line pre-registration added about 5000 new subscribers to the Save
Tibet’s email list, a big boost for the organization. There were about
7000 pre-registered users from the US, about 1700 from the Netherlands
and another 100 in Germany.
But the links to the webcast were also widely spread among exiled
Tibetans worldwide according to Clifton.
