CNN solicits viewer iReports for new programming segment ‘Global Connections’, to air within weeknight show ‘Connect the World’

Brazil and Nigeria feature as launch countries with iReports unlocking “connections” to be shown on TV and online

From Monday 30^th August, CNN International launches ‘Global Connections’, a new  programming segment within ‘Connect the World’ that casts the spotlight on two seemingly distant nations to find unexpected similarities. Each week the network invites guests into the studio to give background information on the two featured countries, and these Global Connectors are: Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia; Craig Glenday; editor-in-chief of the Guinness Book of Records; Tom Hall, editor of the Lonely Planet travel guide and Ken Jennings, a trivia buff who enjoyed the longest winning streak on the American game show, Jeopardy.

Viewers are invited to submit their iReport video, text or photo to www.cnn.com/globalconnections, focussing on their personal experiences or interesting anecdotes that connect the two countries. The best and most interesting submissions will appear in an extended “Global Connections” segment during ‘Connect the World’ every Friday for the next 8 weeks and on the show website www.cnn.com/globalconnections.

“‘Global Connections’ is an interactive show segment that is designed to show that our vast world is a lot smaller than we think and interconnected in a myriad of ways.  We’re inviting our audience to give us a personal angle to help reveal unusual links between our two selected countries. We look forward to exploring the intriguing personal parallels our audience is able to draw between the nations we profile each week, whether it’s cultural, historical, economic, social or something less conventional”, says Mike McCarthy, Vice President of coverage and feature programming, CNN International.

In launch week, ‘Global Connections’ asks viewers; ‘what links Brazil and Nigeria?’. Tune in to ‘Connect the World’ from 2100 BST on Monday 30^th August to see presenter Becky Anderson explain the concept and discuss the two countries with Wikipedia co-founder, Jimmy Wales.
