Arlington, Va. - Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive (WPNI), the online publishing unit of The Washington Post Company, said on Tuesday that it has partnered with Massachusetts-based Internet TV firm Brightcove to launch ad-supported Internet video channels across its websites.

Launching this week, washingtonpost.com's Internet video channels will feature daily newscasts from the Post's journalists, news documentaries and international coverage.

Newsweek.com and the online magazine Slate already have launched ad-supported Internet video channels using Brightcove's service.

WPNI said the move allows it to quickly expand the distribution of its video programming, while opening the door to new revenue opportunities.

The company said that it also plans to begin recruiting and distributing reader-submitted news videos on its properties.
