ITV's regional broadband TV service ITV Local is to partner with Mediabox, the government's £6 million media fund for young people.

Documentaries, short films, TV programmes and video podcasts from Mediabox projects will be added to the web service from late summer.

ITV Local's director of programming, Lindsay Charlton, said: "ITV Local is a unique resource providing a platform for broadcast quality video content. This link-up will enhance the service we provide and give a really high profile platform to drive awareness for such community projects."
