Global has signed journalist Christine Amanpour for a new multi-podcast partnership.
Amanpour will continue as the Chief International Anchor at CNN, presenting programmes including Amanpour, The Amanpour Hour, and Amanpour & Company.
Christiane Amanpour said: “I’m thrilled to be partnering with Global as I launch into the world of podcasting.
“In an age of disinformation and weaponised narratives, podcasting offers a powerful space to speak truth, hold power to account, and connect with listeners in a direct and meaningful way. Global is the perfect partner for this new chapter.”
James Rea, Chief Broadcasting & Content Officer, said: “Christiane Amanpour is the journalist every newsroom respects and every world leader listens to.
“She’s one of the most powerful voices in news, and her new podcasts will take listeners to the heart of the biggest issues on the planet. We’re proud to have her on the Global team.”
Amanpour’s first Global Original podcast is set to launch soon, with more details to follow.
