'''Cable News Network International''' or '''CNN International''' ('''CNNi''', simply branded on-air as '''CNN''') is an international [[television]] channel and [[website]], owned by CNN Worldwide. CNN International carries news-related programming worldwide; it cooperates with sister network [[CNN]]'s national and international news bureaus. Unlike its sister channel, CNN, a North American-only subscription service, CNN International is carried on a variety of TV platforms across the world, and broadcast from studios inside and outside the United States, in Atlanta, New York City,<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/profiles/julia-chatterley-profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515051149/https://www.cnn.com/profiles/julia-chatterley-profile|date=May 15, 2021}} Accessed May 15, 2021.</ref> London, Mumbai, Hong Kong, and [[Abu Dhabi]]. In some countries, it is available as a [[free-to-air]] network. The service is aimed at the overseas market, similar to [[BBC News (international TV channel)|BBC News]], [[France 24]], [[CGTN (TV channel)|CGTN]], [[Deutsche Welle|DW]], [[RT (TV network)|RT]], [[DD India]], [[NHK World-Japan|NHK World]], [[TRT World]] or [[Al Jazeera English]].

==History==

===Early years===
[[File:CNN-International-Logo.svg|thumb|left|upright=0.5|CNN International logo from 1985 to 1995]]

CNN International began broadcasting on September 1, 1985, at first primarily broadcasting to American business travelers in hotels. The first studio for CNNI was at CNN's original studio building known as Techwood, home at that time to all of Turner Broadcasting System's channels. Today, it is home to the Techwood Studios complex that houses the entertainment channels. Other early studios in Atlanta were tucked away in various corners of the [[CNN Center]], and the newsroom lacked even a [[digital clock]]. The vast majority of the network's programming originally consisted of simulcasts of the two domestic CNN channels ([[CNN|CNN/US]] and [[HLN (TV network)|Headline News]]). In the United Kingdom, the channel began broadcasting on September 17, 1987, the office was located at 25/28 Old Burlington Street, London.<ref>[https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0025/217870/Cable-Authority-annual-report-and-accounts-1987-88.pdf  Cable Authority annual report and accounts 1987-88 - Ofcom (page 25)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220110164741/https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0025/217870/Cable-Authority-annual-report-and-accounts-1987-88.pdf |date=January 10, 2022 }} // 1988</ref> In 1990, however, the amount of news programming produced by CNNI especially for international viewers increased significantly.

Paul Vessey, an executive of CNN International, said in 1992 that CNN will go international style and get "less and less American".<ref>{{cite news |title=Better than the CIA? |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19920112-1.2.36.1 |access-date=12 December 2023 |work=The Straits Times |date=12 January 1992 |archive-date=December 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231212090734/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19920112-1.2.36.1 |url-status=live }}</ref>

A new newsroom and studio complex was built in 1994, as CNN decided to compete against [[BBC World Service Television]]'s news programming. CNNI emerged as an internationally oriented news channel, with staff members of various national backgrounds, even though some accusations of a pro-U.S. editorial bias persist. CNN International was awarded the [[Liberty Medal]] on July 4, 1997. Ted Turner, in accepting the medal on behalf of the network, said: "My idea was, we're just going to give people the facts... We didn't have to show liberty and democracy as good and show socialism or totalitarianism as bad. If we just showed them both the way they were ... everybody's going to choose liberty and democracy."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://constitutioncenter.org/libertymedal/recipient_1997.html|title=CNN International – National Constitution Center|website=National Constitution Center – constitutioncenter.org|access-date=December 6, 2013|archive-date=September 21, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921074737/http://constitutioncenter.org/libertymedal/recipient_1997.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===New international era (1995–2005)===
In 1995, creative director Morgan Almeida defined a progressive rebranding strategy, to target CNNI's diverse global market, making the on-air look less overtly American and with a cleaner, simpler "international" aesthetic going forward. The word "International" in the channel's logo was replaced with a globe, and the new branding featured numerous international locations filmed in time-lapse, channel idents created in CGI with Velvet Design in Munich, and a news brand designed with [[The ATTIK|The Attik]] in New York.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/news/cnni/idents.html|title=CNN International &#124; Idents|publisher=TVARK|access-date=August 7, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304054454/http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/news/cnni/idents.html|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

The regionalization of CNN International was through the efforts of [[Chris Cramer]], joining CNN in 1996. CNN International was split into three feeds {{endash}} Asia, Europe/Africa/Middle East and Latin America. By 1998, CNN International produced 90% of its content, up from 50% in 1996. The rest of the percentage is for domestic CNN broadcasts from the United States.<ref name="lighter">{{cite news |title=Lighter and closer to home |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19981130-1.2.106.2 |access-date=12 December 2023 |work=The Straits Times |date=30 November 1998 |archive-date=January 2, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240102105625/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19981130-1.2.106.2 |url-status=live }}</ref> According to an annual PAX survey, in 1998 and 1999 CNN International was the leading cable and satellite network in Asia in terms of viewership among affluent households and among business decision-makers.<ref>{{cite news |title=Asian Viewing Over the Month |url=https://archive.org/details/fact-pack-2000-multichannel-news-international/page/n13/mode/2up |access-date=12 May 2024 |work=Multichannel News International |issue=Fact Pack 2000 |date=December 1999}}</ref> CNN International planned to air shows in 1999 including World Beat, its popular weekly international music segment, and the global arts round-up Art Club.<ref name="lighter" /> The channel was banned in China in June 1999, on the tenth anniversary of the [[1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre|Tianamnen Square massacre]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=O'Clery |first=Conor |date=2000-02-04 |title=China's cultural commissars see Bugs Bunny as undesirable alien |language=en |newspaper=The Irish Times |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/china-s-cultural-commissars-see-bugs-bunny-as-undesirable-alien-1.241244 |access-date=2021-07-25}}</ref>

===2006–2009 revamp===
[[File:CNN-globe-logo.png|thumb|left|upright=0.5|CNN International logo from January 1, 2006, to September 21, 2009]]

The network undertook another major rebranding effort in 2006 overseen by Mark Wright and London agency Kemistry. The ticker was replaced by a flipper, on-screen graphics were more unified and from October 2007 until August 2008, new studios were progressively rolled out. However, on January 1, 2009, CNN International adopted the "lower-thirds" that CNN/US had introduced a month earlier which was inspired by the clean modern design of the CNNI rebrand efforts.

In the U.S., CNNI North America was distributed overnight and on weekends over the [[CNNfn]] financial channel, until that channel's demise in December 2004. It is now available as a standalone, full-time channel, usually as part of high-tier packages of subscription providers including [[Time Warner Cable]], [[AT&T U-Verse]], [[Verizon FiOS]] and [[Cox Communications]].

===Going beyond borders (2009–2013)===
From January until September 2009, CNN International adopted more programs that became geared towards a primetime European audience with a few titled after CNN International personalities, most notably the interview program ''[[Amanpour]]''. On September 21, 2009, the channel launched a new tagline "Go Beyond Borders", along with a new logo, and consolidated its general newscasts (''World News'', ''CNN Today'', ''World News Asia'', ''World News Europe'' and ''[[Your World Today]]'') into a single newscast entitled ''World Report''.

The slogan "Go Beyond Borders" emphasizes the international perspective that gives the information in this string and the plurality of the audiences. With this tagline, CNN also refers to the various platforms to disseminate their content. The new image was created by the creativity and marketing department, and agency CNN Tooth & Nail. An important element of the rebrand was a new evening program that added the broadcast of programs ''Amanpour'' and ''World One''. The makeover of CNN International has been subject to a lot of criticism on both the new prime-time lineup and the redesigned graphics.

On January 11, 2009, in a bid to compete directly with [[Al Jazeera English]], the network launched a new production center: CNN [[Abu Dhabi]], based in the United Arab Emirates. Then, CNN International adapted half-hour shows in its schedule with a new evening prime program for the [[Middle East]] viewers, ''Prism''.

[[File:CNN International 2009.svg|thumb|left|upright=0.5|CNN International logo from 2009 to 2014]]

In 2010, CNN International launched new programs for its evening lineup to improve its schedule. In 2011, programs from CNN U.S. were added to the CNN International schedule, including the talk program ''[[Piers Morgan Live]]'' which was later canceled and replaced with [[CNN Tonight]] hosted by Don Lemon.

===This is CNN (2013–present)===
"This is CNN" represents CNN International's rebrand with new sets and output in full 16:9 high definition. The "This is CNN" slogan is also used on its sister network [[CNN]] in the United States. The managing director of CNN International from 2003 to May 2019 was Tony Maddox.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression Why didn't CNN's international arm air its documentary on Bahrain's Arab Spring repression?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143730/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression |date=June 12, 2018 }} CNNi's president, Tony Maddox</ref>

In 2019, CNN International announced it was reducing its programming and staff based in London to reduce costs, with CNNI losing $10 million per year.<ref name="Waterson">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/may/28/cnn-preparing-cuts-london-based-news-operation|title=CNN preparing to make cuts at London-based news operation|first=Jim|last=Waterson|work=The Guardian|date=29 May 2019|access-date=May 28, 2019|archive-date=July 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190706200723/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/may/28/cnn-preparing-cuts-london-based-news-operation|url-status=live}}</ref> Later that year, CNNI cancelled its Asia-Pacific Primetime Show, ''[[News Stream]]'', anchored by [[Kristie Lu Stout]], effectively ending production output from its Hong Kong Studios.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cnncommentary.com/2019/06/03/cnn-cancels-news-stream-in-a-pivot-away-from-asia/|title=CNN Commentary – Lifestyle and News Guide|website=CNN Commentary|access-date=June 23, 2020|archive-date=September 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930231150/https://cnncommentary.com/2019/06/03/cnn-cancels-news-stream-in-a-pivot-away-from-asia/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2022, WarnerMedia closed CNN International in Russia due to [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russia's invasion of Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/09/media/warnermedia-discovery-russia/index.html|title = WarnerMedia and Discovery join the stampede of businesses leaving Russia &#124; CNN Business|publisher = CNN|date = March 9, 2022|access-date = March 10, 2022|archive-date = March 9, 2022|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220309191451/https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/09/media/warnermedia-discovery-russia/index.html|url-status = live}}</ref>

==Regional and online versions==
There are five variants of CNN International:
* [[CNN International Asia Pacific]], based in Hong Kong, China; [[Taipei]], Taiwan and Manila, Philippines
* [[CNN International Europe/Middle East/Africa]], based in London, United Kingdom
* [[CNN International in Latin America]], based in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.
* CNN International North America{{refn|Canadian markets only}}, based in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.
* [[CNN International South Asia]], based in New Delhi, India

The schedules of the different regional versions no longer differ significantly from each other, but there are still minor variations such as content during the commercial breaks (e.g. weather forecasts and local airtimes shown).

CNN has reported that its broadcast agreement in mainland China includes an arrangement that its signal must pass through a Chinese-controlled satellite. With this method of transmission, Chinese authorities have been able to black out CNNI segments at will. CNN has also said that its broadcasts are not widely available in mainland China, but rather only in certain diplomatic compounds, hotels, and apartment blocks.<ref>{{cite news|last=Vause|first=John|title=San Francisco Torch Relay Broadcast|publisher=CNN|date=April 9, 2008}}</ref>

In June 2015, CNN International was made available online in the United States for [[TV Everywhere|CNN/U.S subscribers on participating television providers]] through the CNNgo service.<ref name="tvnewser-cnngo">{{cite web|title=CNN International Now Available on CNNgo|url=http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/cnn-international-now-available-on-cnngo/266213|website=TVNewser|date=June 29, 2015 |access-date=July 2, 2015|archive-date=July 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702034555/http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/cnn-international-now-available-on-cnngo/266213|url-status=live}}</ref>

===CNNj===
[[File:CNNj_channel_logo.svg|thumb|175px|CNNj channel logo]]
'''CNNj''' is a Japanese version of CNN International distributed by [[Japan Cable Television]] that first launched on March 1, 2003. CNNj is tailored specifically for a Japanese audience, with all programming broadcast from 7:00&nbsp;a.m. to 12:00&nbsp;a.m. ([[Japan Standard Time]]) being translated into Japanese.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|title=CNN Partners|publisher=cnnasiapacific.com|access-date=12 May 2010|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729154345/http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|archive-date=2012-07-29|url-status=dead}}</ref> The channel used to broadcast a mixture of CNN International and [[CNN|CNN/US]], but since 2008, CNNj has been a direct relay of [[CNN International Asia Pacific]].

Starting late 2010, the high-definition feed of CNN US was launched in Japan for American viewers under the name "CNN/US HD", the first such feed available outside of the United States.<ref name="jctv">{{Cite web|url=http://www.jctv.co.jp/images/press101108.pdf|trans-title= Program supply business of new channel "CNN HD" – about the start |website=JCTV |title=新チャンネル『CNN HD』の番組供給事業 開始について |date=2010 |access-date=April 16, 2020|archive-date=February 22, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160222141451/http://www.jctv.co.jp/images/press101108.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Simulcasts between CNNI and CNN/US, and between CNNI and CNN Max==
{{More citations needed section|date=May 2018}}
Apart from during the earliest days of the network, CNNI, until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, produced almost all of its programming, and generally only simulcast CNN/US's primetime output. However, since the start of the outbreak, CNNI's programming has been significantly cut back, although international programmes have slowly been reintroduced. However, CNNI still only opts out of CNN US for less than the 24-hour clock period, and CNNI currently draws from the feed of the main CNN channel for all editions of ''[[CNN This Morning (2022)|CNN This Morning]]'', ''[[Erin Burnett Outfront]]'', ''[[Anderson Cooper 360°]]'' and ''[[CNN Tonight]]''. CNNI also broadcasts most of ''[[The Lead with Jake Tapper]]''. At the weekend, CNNI simulcasts much of the entire weekend schedule, apart from the first hour of ''CNN This Morning'' and some of ''CNN Newsroom''. Programs seen on the global network include the Sunday edition of ''[[Inside Politics]]'', [[State of the Union (American TV program)|'' State of the Union'']], ''[[Fareed Zakaria GPS]]'', ''[[Smerconish]]'' and some ''[[CNN Special Investigations Unit]]'' documentaries.<ref name=CNNI>{{cite web|url=https://edition.cnn.com/tv/schedule/cnn|title=Intl – TV Schedule Europe |publisher=CNN|access-date=15 April 2020|archive-date=April 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200415120815/https://edition.cnn.com/tv/schedule/europe|url-status=live}}</ref>

CNNI also simulcasts CNN/US newscasts whenever major events happen in the United States or around the world. Also, certain scheduled broadcasts, such as ''[[New Year's Eve Live]]'' and ''Election Night in America'', are aired on CNN International. Likewise, CNN/US occasionally turns to CNNI newscasts, primarily when major international news breaks during overnight hours in the U.S.

During simulcasts, the timepiece of CNN/US is replaced by that of CNNI, and CNN/US's red logo on a white field is retained in the on-screen graphic, aligning with CNN/US as the originating source.

As of August 2014, following [[Ferguson unrest|the unrest]] in [[Ferguson, Missouri]], a permanent simulcast of CNNI's block of ''Newsroom'' with [[Rosemary Church]] and [[Errol Barnett]] was added to the late-night lineup of CNN/US, serving as a lead-in to ''Early Start''. In late 2015, [[John Vause]] and anchor [[Isha Sesay]] began to anchor a two-hour block of the simulcast from CNN studios in Los Angeles.<ref name="tvnewser-la">{{cite web|title=John Vause, Isha Sesay To Anchor CNN International Show From Los Angeles|url=http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/john-vause-isha-sesay-to-anchor-cnn-international-show-from-los-angeles/268296|website=TVNewser|date=July 27, 2015 |access-date=December 9, 2015|archive-date=January 1, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160101161656/http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/john-vause-isha-sesay-to-anchor-cnn-international-show-from-los-angeles/268296|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2017, CNN International began simulcasting the first hour of the weekday edition of ''[[New Day (TV series)|New Day]]'' and on September 10, 2018, ''[[The Lead with Jake Tapper]]'' started to be simulcast on CNNI.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.a516digital.com/2018/08/cnn-refreshes-european-schedule.html |title=CNN refreshes European schedule |access-date=July 20, 2019 |archive-date=July 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190720162157/https://www.a516digital.com/2018/08/cnn-refreshes-european-schedule.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2019, CNN International announced it was reducing its programming and staff based in London to reduce costs.<ref name="Waterson"/> Consequently, an additional two hours of simulcasts with CNN/US on weekdays were added – the first hour of ''Early Start'' and the second hour of ''New Day'', resulting in CNNI broadcasting CNN/US for seven hours each weekday.

By mid-April 2020, due to the impact of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] on CNN's operations, CNN/US weekday programming accounted for 14 hours within each 24-hour cycle of CNN International broadcasting time, with CNN International's daily worldwide programming in Europe consisting of five hours of the international version of CNN Newsroom, from 5 a.m. – 10 a.m. GMT, and five internationally focused programs: ''[[CNN World Sport]]'', ''[[First Move with Julia Chatterley]]'' and ''[[Connect the World with Becky Anderson]]'' between the hours of 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. GMT; with ''Amanpour'' and ''[[Quest Means Business]]'', between 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. GMT.<ref name=CNNI/> Each of those internationally focused programs air for one hour each, except ''Connect the World'', which airs for two hours and if live news events are slated to happen during ''Amanpour'''s timeslot, that show may air at a different time. Weekend simulcasts of CNN/US were increased with CNN/US's live news output shown in full at the time. Apart from between 5 a.m. – 11 a.m. GMT when editions of the international version of CNN Newsroom were aired alongside magazine programs, CNN International only showed its programming – consisting of magazine programs – when CNN/US was broadcasting repeat showings of programs it had aired earlier that day.

Later in 2020, live weekend domestic programming on CNN International was slightly reduced to accommodate newer editions of magazine programs although apart from during the North American overnight period, CNNI still does not produce any of its news coverage at the weekend although on weekdays, ''[[CNN World Sport]]'' was re-introduced and is broadcast instead of the final 30 minutes of ''[[New Day (TV program)|New Day]]'' and June 2021 saw the return of other weekday programs with international programming now airing on weekdays between 8 am and 4 pm Eastern Time which means that CNN U.S. daytime rolling daytime news programming is once again not seen on CNN International on weekdays.

Since the beginning of the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] in February 2022, CNN International has been augmenting CNN/US programming during hours that usually would be repeats or specials, such as overnights and late in the evening on Saturdays and Sundays. This has effectively given CNN/US rolling live 24-hour coverage throughout most of the conflict.

On September 27, 2023, selected CNNI programmes were simulcast on CNN Max, CNN's streaming-only channel available on the US streaming service [[Max (streaming service)|Max]]. The CNN International programmes simulcast there include ''State of the Race with Kasie Hunt'' (currently not airing), ''One World with Zain Asher & Bianna Golodryga'', ''Amanpour'', ''Quest Means Business'', and various editions of ''CNN Newsroom''.

January 2024 saw the return of ''First Move with Julia Chatterley''. The program airs just before the start of the Asian trading day, as opposed to just before the start of the American trading day.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.tvnewsroom.org/international/first-move-with-julia-chatterley-is-returning-to-cnn-international-291258/ |title=First Move with Julia Chatterley to return to CNN International |date=January 16, 2024 |access-date=February 9, 2024 |archive-date=May 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240519143458/https://www.tvnewsroom.co.uk/usa/first-move-with-julia-chatterley-is-returning-to-cnn-international-291258/ |url-status=live }}</ref> 

As of mid-2025, CNNI's weekday simulcasting of CNN US programming operates on weeknights between 7 pm and midnight ET and between 5 am and 8.30 am ET and at the weekend, all live news programming on the global network comes from CNN US although this is interrupted at various time of the day by magazine programmes.

==High definition==
[[File:CNN International HD.png|thumb|left|260px]]

'''CNN International HD''' is the [[high-definition television|high-definition]] simulcast feed of the channel broadcasting at 1920x[[1080i]], which was launched in September 2012. Before June 3, 2013, only programming from CNN/US was available natively in HD, while shows made for CNN International were produced in [[4:3]] [[576i]]. In February 2013, the European SD feed of CNN International began broadcasting in widescreen by downscaling the HD feed, which resulted in all 4:3-native programming being broadcast in [[pillarbox]] until the June 3 switchover, and finalized on June 17 of the same year, when the switchover was completed.

Following the March 2003 launch of [[CNNj]], a live relay of CNN/US and CNN International, with simultaneous audio translation into Japanese,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|title=CNN Partners|publisher=cnnasiapacific.com|access-date=16 April 2020|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729154345/http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|archive-date=2012-07-29|url-status=dead}}</ref> starting in late 2010, the high definition feed of CNN/US was launched in Japan under the name '''CNN HD'''.<ref name="jctv"/> CNN/US (both SD and HD) is also available on Greater China-based satellite service [[DishHD]], a subsidiary of [[Dish Network]] in the United States.

On June 28, 2016, CNN International HD was launched for Sky customers in the UK (including on Freesat from Sky), on channel 506 or 579, making the [[Arirang (TV network)|next news channel]] launch in the 600s.  The HD version is available free-to-air within the British Isles, and is provided on satellite and IPTV services, and also live-streamed for U.K. users (and geo-blocked outside the U.K.), through CNN International's official U.K. video site. However, viewers with non-proprietary Freesat boxes will need to add the channel manually as Freesat does not market CNN International HD publicly as part of its offerings.

==Online==
CNN debuted its news website CNN.com (initially an experiment known as ''CNN Interactive'') on August 30, 1995. The site attracted growing interest over its first decade and is now one of the most popular news websites in the world. The widespread growth of [[blogs]], [[social media]] and [[user-generated content]] have influenced the site, and blogs in particular have focused CNN's previously scattershot online offerings, most noticeably in the development and launch of [[CNN Pipeline]] in late 2005. In April 2009, CNN.com ranked third place among online global news sites in unique users in the U.S. according to Nielsen/NetRatings; with an increase of 11% over the previous year.

CNN Pipeline was the name of a paid subscription service, its corresponding website, and a content delivery client that provided streams of live video from up to four sources (or "pipes"), on-demand access to CNN stories and reports, and optional pop-up "news alerts" to computer users. The installable client was available to users of PCs running [[Microsoft Windows]]. There was also a browser-based "web client" that did not require installation. In July 2007, the service was discontinued and replaced with a free streaming service.

The now-defunct topical news program ''[[Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics]]'' was the first CNN program to feature a round-up of blogs in 2005.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/columnist/mediamix/2005-03-20-media-mix_x.htm|title=It's prime time for blogs on CNN's 'Inside Politics'|date=March 20, 2005|work=USA Today|last=Johnson|first=Peter|access-date=January 24, 2009|archive-date=October 21, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021192505/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/columnist/mediamix/2005-03-20-media-mix_x.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Blog coverage was expanded when ''[[Inside Politics]]'' was folded into ''[[The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer|The Situation Room]]''. In 2006, CNN launched CNN Exchange and [[CNN iReport]], initiatives designed to further introduce and centralize the impact of everything from [[blogging]] to [[citizen journalism]] within the CNN brand. CNN iReport which features user-submitted photos and video, has achieved considerable traction, with increasingly professional-looking reports filed by amateur journalists, many still in high school or college. The iReport gained more prominence when observers of the [[Virginia Tech shootings]] sent in first-hand photos of what was going on during the shootings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/story.html?id=250570b8-2555-4ac0-8fb7-a0431a321e0d&k=80562|title='Citizen journalist' often there first to snap photos|date=April 12, 2008|publisher=Regina Leader-Post|last=Cobb|first=Chris|access-date=January 24, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080621203445/http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/story.html?id=250570b8-2555-4ac0-8fb7-a0431a321e0d&k=80562|archive-date=June 21, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In early 2008, CNN began maintaining a live-streaming broadcast available to those who receive CNN at home.<ref name="CNNlivestreaming">{{cite web |url=https://edition.cnn.com/about/live-tv |title=CNN.com Live |publisher=CNN|access-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-date=August 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160804003045/http://edition.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html |url-status=live }}</ref> CNN International is broadcast live, as part of the [[RealNetworks]] SuperPass subscription outside the U.S. CNN also offers several [[RSS|RSS feeds]] and [[podcast]]s.

On April 18, 2008, CNN.com was targeted by Chinese hackers in retaliation for the channel's coverage of the [[2008 Tibetan unrest]]. CNN reported that they took preventive measures after news broke of the impending attack.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/04/18/cnn.websites/ |title=CNN Web site targeted  |publisher=CNN|date=April 18, 2008 |access-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-date=March 20, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320082517/http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/04/18/cnn.websites/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>Claburn, Thomas: "[http://www.informationweek.com/government/cybersecurity/cnn-faces-cyberattack-over-tibet-coverage/d/d-id/1066964?

On October 24, 2009, CNN launched a new version of the CNN.com website, revamping it by adding a new "sign up" option where users may create their user name, a new "CNN Pulse" (beta) feature along a new red color theme.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/relaunch/|title=Welcome to the New CNN.com&nbsp;– Interactive tour|publisher=CNN|access-date=February 20, 2010|archive-date=February 10, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100210075931/http://edition.cnn.com/interactive/relaunch/|url-status=live}}</ref> However, most of the news archived on the website has been deleted. CNN also has a channel on the popular video-sharing site [[YouTube]], but its videos can only be viewed in the United States, a source of criticism among YouTube users worldwide. {{Citation needed|date=May 2018}}

In April 2010, CNN announced via [[Twitter]] its upcoming food [[blog]] called "Eatocracy", which will "cover all news related to food&nbsp;– from recalls to health issues to culture."<ref>{{cite web|last=Brion|first=Raphael|title=Eatocracy: CNN Gets in the Food Blog Business|url=http://eater.com/archives/2010/04/13/eatocracy-cnn-gets-in-the-food-blog-business.php|work=Eater.com|date=April 13, 2010|access-date=February 26, 2011|archive-date=September 23, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100923061342/http://eater.com/archives/2010/04/13/eatocracy-cnn-gets-in-the-food-blog-business.php|url-status=live}}</ref> CNN had an [[internet relay chat]] (IRC) network at chat.cnn.com.

==Criticism==
[[File:CNN International.jpg|thumb|The CNN International logo on a table viewed inside the CNN Center in Atlanta. These tables have since been removed.]]

=== Accusations of U.S.-centric viewpoint ===
Former CNN Beijing and Tokyo bureau chief [[Rebecca MacKinnon]] described how the news-gathering priorities of CNN International were skewed to "produce stories and reports that would be of interest to CNN USA." Nevertheless, [[Jane Arraf]], a former correspondent who was with the [[Council on Foreign Relations]] and later served as a Middle East-based correspondent for [[Al Jazeera English]], noted that when she spoke on international affairs, CNN International would usually give her more airtime than CNN/US. For its part, former CNN executive [[Eason Jordan]] has defended CNN International's "international" perspective, saying "No matter what CNN International does, as long as CNN's headquarters is in the United States people are going to say, well, it's an American service. But the reality is that it's an international service based in the United States, and we don't make any apologies about that."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tbsjournal.com/Archives/Spring02/jordan.html |title=TBS Interview: Eason Jordan, CNN Chief News Executive |access-date=January 28, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061230185016/http://www.tbsjournal.com/Archives/Spring02/jordan.html |archive-date=December 30, 2006  }}</ref>

=== Accusations of pro-American bias ===
CNN is one of the world's largest news organizations, and its international channel, CNN International is the leading international news channel in terms of viewer reach.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://edition.cnn.com/about/|title=About Us|publisher=CNN|access-date=February 20, 2010|archive-date=February 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100221022509/http://edition.cnn.com/about/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/563911/cnn-tops-european-news-channels-according-ems/|title=CNN tops European news channels according to EMS&nbsp;– Brand Republic News|publisher=Brand Republic|access-date=February 20, 2010|archive-date=February 26, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100226163436/http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/563911/CNN-tops-European-news-channels-according-EMS/|url-status=live}}</ref> Unlike the BBC and its network of reporters and bureaus, CNN International makes extensive use of affiliated reporters that are local to, and often directly affected by, the events they are reporting. The effect is a more immediate, less detached style of on-the-ground coverage. This has done little to stem criticism, largely from Middle Eastern nations, that CNN International reports news from a [[pro-American]] perspective. This is a marked contrast to domestic criticisms that often portray CNN as having a "liberal" or "anti-American" bias. {{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

=== Accusations of anti-China bias ===
A Chinese website, [[anti-cnn]].com,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Anti-CNN website |url=http://www.anti-cnn.com/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409202554/http://www.anti-cnn.com/ |archive-date=9 April 2008 |access-date=5 August 2017}}</ref> had accused CNN and western media in general of biased reporting against China, with the catchphrase "Don't be so CNN" entering the Chinese [[lexicon]] as meaning one should not be biased and use exaggerated language in describing an event.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Andrew Wei-Min Lee |date=2009 |title=Tibet and the Media: Perspectives from Beijing |url=https://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4931&context=mulr |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206144303/https://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4931&context=mulr |archive-date=December 6, 2021 |website=[[Marquette Law Review]] |page=221}}</ref> Pictures used by CNN were allegedly edited to have completely different meanings from the original ones.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last=Jay Hauben |date=September 11, 2012 |title=China and Syria: Netizens Expose Media Fabrications and Distortions |url=https://newsghana.com.gh/china-and-syria-netizens-expose-media-fabrications-and-distortions/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221119153221/https://newsghana.com.gh/china-and-syria-netizens-expose-media-fabrications-and-distortions/ |archive-date=2022-11-19 |website=[[News Ghana]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> In addition, the channel was accused of largely ignoring pro-China voices during the Olympic Torch Relay debacle in San Francisco.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

=== Accusations of propaganda and censorship ===
In October 2011, [[Amber Lyon]] gave her claims to the Syrian government news agency SANA that she had been directed by CNN to report selectively, repetitively, and falsely to sway public opinion in favor of direct American aggression against Iran and Syria,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sana.sy/eng/22/2013/03/30/475112.htm |title=Ex-CNN Reporter: I Received Orders to Manipulate News to Demonize Syria and Iran |access-date=March 4, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130402001657/http://sana.sy/eng/22/2013/03/30/475112.htm |archive-date=April 2, 2013  }}</ref> and that this was common practice under CNN. She subsequently repeated this claim, addressing the degraded state of [[journalistic ethics]] in an interview<ref>{{cite web |url=https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/11/alex-jones-americas-top-conspiracy-theorist.html |title=An Interview With Alex Jones, America's Leading (and Proudest) Conspiracy Theorist |website=Nymag.com |date=November 17, 2013 |access-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-date=September 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908181340/http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/11/alex-jones-americas-top-conspiracy-theorist.html |url-status=live }}</ref>{{citation needed|reason=YouTube is NOT a reliable source|date=December 2015}} during which she also discussed the Bahraini episode, suggesting paid-for content was also taken from [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], Kazakhstan, and other states, that the [[War on Terrorism]] had also been employed as a pretext to pre-empt substantive [[investigative journalism]] within the U.S., and that following the Bahrain reporting, her investigative department had been terminated and "reorganized", and her severance and [[employee benefits]] used as a threat to intimidate and attempt to purchase her subsequent silence.

Lyon claimed to have met with [[Tony Maddox]], president of CNN International, twice about this issue in 2011 and had claimed that during the second meeting, she was threatened and intimated to stop speaking on the matter.<ref>{{cite news |author=Glenn Greenwald |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression |title=Why didn't CNN's international arm air its documentary on Bahrain's Arab Spring repression? |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-date=June 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143730/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression |url-status=live }}</ref> CNN issued a detailed response to Lyon's claims about its coverage of Bahrain.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/05/cnn-internationals-response-to-the-guardian/ | publisher=CNN| title=CNN International's Response to the Guardian – Update | date=September 5, 2012 | access-date=December 4, 2013 | archive-date=November 4, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104152401/http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/05/cnn-internationals-response-to-the-guardian/ | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Lyon also claimed on the Russian news channel [[RT (TV network)|RT]] that CNN reporters, headed by Maddox, have been instructed to over-cover Iran as a form of propaganda, and that CNN International has been paid by the Bahraini government to produce and air news segments intentionally painting them in a positive light.{{citation needed|reason=YouTube is NOT a reliable source|date=December 2015}}

CNN became the official broadcaster of one of the biggest events of the UAE in 2021 when Dubai was hosting the [[Expo 2020]]. The official announcement was made in July 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2021/07/05/cnn-to-be-an-official-broadcaster-for-expo-2020-dubai/|title=CNN to be an Official Broadcaster for Expo 2020 Dubai|access-date=5 July 2021|website=CNN Press Room|archive-date=July 5, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210705124125/https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2021/07/05/cnn-to-be-an-official-broadcaster-for-expo-2020-dubai/|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, months later, human rights organizations began to raise concerns around CNN's participation in the event, pointing out that the CNN was lending its legitimacy to the Emirates' propaganda efforts. Analyzing CNN's coverage of the UAE over 10 months, critics accused the news media of running a PR for the UAE. The rights groups also notified of the UAE's poor human rights and women's rights records They further urged CNN to be transparent about its dealings with the Arab nation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 October 2021 |title=UAE: Expo 2020 Dubai held to distract attention from rights abuses, says HRW |url=http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uae-dubai-expo-distract-attention-rights-abuses-hrw |website=[[Middle East Eye]] |language=en |access-date=November 21, 2022 |archive-date=November 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221121145731/https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uae-dubai-expo-distract-attention-rights-abuses-hrw |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=September 17, 2021 |title=CNN Won't Say If It's Running Undisclosed PR for a Gulf Dictatorship |url=https://thecolumn.substack.com/p/cnn-wont-say-if-its-running-undisclosed |accessdate=17 September 2021 |website=[[Substack]] |archive-date=January 2, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102225119/https://thecolumn.substack.com/p/cnn-wont-say-if-its-running-undisclosed |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Other dismissals ===
On July 7, 2010, [[Octavia Nasr]], senior Middle East editor and a CNN journalist for 20 years, was fired after she expressed admiration on her [[Twitter]] account for a militant Muslim cleric and former Hezbollah leader who had recently died.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gold|first=Matea|date=July 7, 2010|title=CNN Mideast Affairs editor loses post after tweeting her respect for militant cleric|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/07/cnn-mideast-affairs-editor-loses-post-after-tweeting-her-respect-for-militant-cleric.html|access-date=February 20, 2011|archive-date=January 29, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110129145532/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/07/cnn-mideast-affairs-editor-loses-post-after-tweeting-her-respect-for-militant-cleric.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
