Back to the Berlin Wall
My first glimpse of CNN was in 1989, channel surfing one evening and to my amazement suddenly seeing people scrambling on top of the Berlin Wall, hacking at it with pickaxes. Living in Britain, I'd never heard of CNN. Yet here I was watching a seismic moment that would forever change Europe and the world beyond it - live on TV. The fall of the Berlin Wall was about people power, so fast forward 20 years and it's fitting that we are inviting you to write on our online Wall or upload your pictures and video. Twenty years ago it was a global story and now we're getting a global response. We hope you like the improvements we've made. We're increasing our coverage of Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. And we're integrating more of our language services into the site including video from CNN en Espanol and news feeds in Arabic. Meanwhile you can stay up to date with the programs CNN screens around the world, including the new "Amanpour" show. News is a conversation between many people. The days when viewers just sat back and were told what was going on are long gone. Technology has connected the world at a breathtaking pace. So to make sense of it, we aim to bring many diverse perspectives to our stories from CNN teams across our international bureaus. We've invested millions of dollars over the last few years to beef up our international newsgathering. Now we want to uncover even more stories that nobody else is reporting, like our recent series exposing the cocaine trade killers in Colombia. You can also go beyond the headlines. We tour the world to bring you everything from business updates, movie news and travel tips, including the buzz across Asia from our partner site CNNGo. Let us know what you think. We welcome your feedback and ideas. Displaying 16 Comments | Add comment
