As you may have spotted already, the collaboration between
Amanpour and
DebateGraph launched on CNN last night, with Christiane's new live global program featuring interviews with
the Secretary General of Nato and the Prime Minister of Spain.
If you missed lat night's episode, it's available via Podcast
here. DebateGraph's working with Amanpour's production team and viewers to
create debate maps around the interviews and global issues addressed in the programs – and to provide a forum for non-linear, interactive and cumulative debate to complement the program's thought-provoking analysis and interviews with the global leaders confronting those issues.
Christiane's aims for the program "to offer multiple perspectives... and serve as the hub for a global community of inquiring minds, hungry for a more daring perspective and a strong, clear, thoughtful take on international stories" emphasize the resonance between our mutual approaches and the reason why Peter and I are delighted to be collaborating with Amanpour's New York based production team.
"I want this show to stir the global conscience. I have witnessed so much that it's time to start making real sense of it all"
The program airs on Monday to Thursday at 2100 CET, with a round-up of the best of the week on Fridays on CNN International and Sundays on CNN in the United States – and
tonight's show features interviews with
Tony Blair,
Terje Roed-Larsen (UN Middle East Envoy),
Dan Meridor (Israeli Intelligence Minister), and
Saeb Erakat (Chief Palestinian Negotiator). In conjunction with the launch of program, Peter and I have released a new interface for DebateGraph (which will also feature in the forthcoming
WAVE climate change project for the European Commission). More on both later — but for now here's a quick video introduction to the new
DebateGraph Stream interface:
