==''Frontline/World''== <!-- Frontline/World and Frontline World redirect to this heading --> ''Frontline/World'' is a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] program from ''Frontline'', first transmitted on May 23, 2002, which was transmitted four to eight times a year on ''Frontline'' until it was canceled in 2010. It focused on issues from around the globe, and used a "magazine" format, where each hour-long episode typically had three stories that ran about 15 to 20 minutes in length. Its tagline was: ''Stories from a small planet''. Initially a co-production of [[WGBH-TV|WGBH]], Boston and [[KQED-TV|KQED]], San Francisco, ''Frontline/World'' was later based in part at the [[UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism|University of California Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism]], where the program's producers recruited a new generation of reporters and producers to the ''Frontline'' program.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Frontline-World-video-journalists-bring-world-2497618.php|title='Frontline/World' video journalists bring world to Web|work=[[SFGate]]|date=October 11, 2007|access-date=September 24, 2015}}</ref> ''Frontline/World'' also streamed stories on its website, which won two [[Webby awards]] in 2008 for its original program of online videos called "Rough Cuts". In 2005, the [[Overseas Press Club of America]] gave the program its [[Edward R. Murrow Award (OPC)|Edward R. Murrow Award]] for the best TV coverage of international events, citing producers David Fanning, [[Stephen Talbot]], Sharon Tiller and Ken Dornstein. The program broke new ground in 2007 by winning two [[News & Documentary Emmy Award|Emmys]]; one of these was for a broadcast story, "Saddam's Road to Hell", and the other was for an online video, "Libya: Out of the Shadow".
