Multiplatform Coverage for 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington

CNN Announces Multiplatform for 50th Anniversaryof the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

Special Programming Begins Friday, August 23 with New Oral History Documentary

CNN today announced a multiplatform programming effort for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.  Dynamic enterprise programming will begin on Friday, Aug. 23, and include a new documentary of rare oral histories of the March, opinion editorials authored by key figures in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s on the legacy of the event, and curated photo galleries that will supplement the network’s coverage of the live commemorative activities in the nation’s capital.  The network will also carry coverage of President Barack Obama’s remarks from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, Aug. 28.

“The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was an extraordinary event of immeasurable impact upon the nation – and the world,” said Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide.  “CNN is uniquely positioned to offer multidimensional, enterprise coverage that is both reflective and forward-looking to mark this once-in-a-lifetime anniversary,” he said.

For CNN.com/Opinion, civil rights pioneer John D. Due, Jr. has written a moving, first-person recollection of the events leading up to the 1963 March and LZ Granderson has penned an homage to the essential leadership efforts of the March organizer, Bayard Rustin, who as a gay man faced discrimination from both opponents and proponents of civil rights.  Photographer Leonard Freed’s iconic images of the event have been curated into a digital visual essay of the March on Washington.  Excerpted video reports and highlights of the original event, and curated iReport submissions from users that explore the current state of everyday racism in America will also be hosted on CNN.com.  A special profile of the daughter of the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Bernice King, will be available online beginning Saturday, Aug. 24.

Also on Saturday, Aug. 24, the original “Big Six” civil rights organizations which led the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom will gather in Washington, DC, for special events, many of which will be covered on CNN/U.S.  This coverage will include highlights of the “Redeem the Dream Summit” of the National Urban League, including remarks on the modern civil rights agenda by Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, U.S. Representative John Lewis (D-GA), and others.  CNN correspondent Chris Lawrence will report live from the events on Saturday.

Between Saturday, Aug. 24 and Wednesday, Aug. 28, CNN/U.S. will explore the meaning of the March with exclusive interviews with key civil rights leaders including, Rep. Lewis; Rev. Joseph Lowery; U.S. Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC); former U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young; Martin Luther King, III; and more.  

CNN will observe the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the March on Wednesday, Aug. 28 with a rare re-broadcast of the remarks by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. known as the “I Have a Dream” speech.  The address from five decades ago will air in its entirety.  The day’s coverage will be hosted by CNN anchor Don Lemon, with live reporting from correspondents Joe Johns and Athena Jones in the crowds gathered on the National Mall to participate in the events, and commentary from CNN Crossfire host, Van Jones and contributions from CNN’s Donna Brazile.

The network’s comprehensive anniversary coverage will begin with CNN’s new, original documentary, We Were There: The March on Washington – An Oral History, hosted by CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday, August 23 at 10:00p.m. and 1:00a.m.  All times Eastern.  We Were There features unique stories from witnesses to the March and people who played vital behind-the-scenes roles organizing the event, on how the extraordinary multicultural event came to be – and its legacy to the progress of American civil rights.  We Were There: The March on Washington – An Oral History will also encore on CNN/U.S. on Sunday, August 25 at 8:00p.m., 11:00p.m., and 2:00a.m.  All times Eastern.  

On Thursday, Sept. 12, a special CNN Dialogues live event, “Modern Marchers: Lessons From The Front Lines of Social Change,” will be held at the Cecil B. Day Chapel of The Carter Center in Atlanta, GA, from 7:00p.m. to 8:30p.m.  The event is in partnership with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and the Emory University James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference and will be moderated by New Day morning show news anchor, Michaela Pereira.  Panelists for the event, including Michael Skolnik, political director for Russell Simmons and president of GlobalGrind.com, and Minh Dang, executive director of Don’t Sell Bodies and a 2013 White House “Champion of Change” will explore current social activism and the agenda and actions needed to improve civil rights for now and beyond.

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Season 2

CNN LAUNCHES SEASON TWO OF ITS MULTIPLE EMMY-NOMINATED ORIGINAL SERIES “ANTHONY BOURDAIN PARTS UNKNOWN” ON

SEPT. 15 WITH “JERUSALEM” – ISRAEL, WEST BANK AND GAZA

One-Hour ABPU: Prime Cuts Season One Special Featuring Notable Moments and a Preview of Season 2 Airs Sept. 15 at 8pm ET 

CNN’s popular original series Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, which has been nominated for four Primetime Emmys in the 2013 competition, launches its second season on Sunday, September 15 at 9pm ET. The season premiere episode “Jerusalem” features tours of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, marking the first time the host has filmed in these locations.

Leading into the season premiere, at 8pm ET, will be ABPU: Prime Cuts Season One, a retrospective special featuring notable moments, reminiscences, and a preview of season two.

The new season of the weekend lifestyle series, which airs Sundays at 9pm ET on CNN and CNN International, also takes Bourdain and his crew into “parts unknown” within Spain, New Mexico, Copenhagen, Sicily, Detroit, Tokyo and South Africa.  

Below are descriptions of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown season two episodes (airdates, unless indicated, are TBA):

·       “Jerusalem”(Sept 15) – In the season premiere of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, the host and crew make their first trip to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. While the political situation is often tense between the people living in these areas, Bourdain concentrates on their rich history, food and culture, and spends time with local chefs, home cooks, writers and amateur foodies.

·       “Spain” (Sept. 22) - Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown explores Andalucía during Semana Santa (Holy Week, leading up to Easter), a time filled with great pageantry and excitement. Featured in this episode is Bourdain’s longtime Director of Photography Zach Zamboni, who lives part-time in Granada and shows the host sights off the beaten path.

·       “New Mexico” (Sept. 29)- Parts Unknown takes a close look at the mash-up of cultures that comprise this uniquely American state by sampling its food - a combination of Spanish, Mediterranean, Mexican, Pueblo and even chuck-wagon influences. New Mexico is also a land of drugs, guns, monster vehicles, and possibly extraterrestrials. It may also be the perfect place to investigate the underside of the Western cowboy ideal.

·       “Copenhagen” Denmark (airdate TBA) - This episode explores the food and natural beauty of Copenhagen, the economic and cultural center of Denmark. Home to famed chef Rene Redzepi and his brainchild Noma - regarded by critics as one of the world’s best restaurants - Parts Unknown delves into the city’s cuisine and the new Nordic creativity that infuses Redzepi’s work at Noma. 

·       Sicily (airdate TBA) – Parts Unknown explores the Sicilian way of life, which puts a premium on savoring family, life, and food.  Bourdain travels in search of those foods as he eats his way around the island.  He makes his home base at the Villa Monaci, on the outskirts of Catania with his enthusiastic, fast-talking sidekicks who counter the otherwise relaxed tempo and epic “food porn” of this episode.

·       Detroit (airdate TBA) - Few cities have experienced such a dramatic economic rise and fall of Detroit. In this episode of Parts Unknown, Bourdain explores the past, present and future of the Motor City. He steps into the lives of Detroit natives and sees the glory days of the past at the famed Packard Plant, the current state of the city’s urban decay, and the promise of the future in the citizens who are rebuilding their communities. 

·       Tokyo (airdate TBA) - Japan is a paradox.  The low birthrate, the dedication, the conformity, and the life of a salary man are well known. There is also a competitive and rigid culture that gives way to some unique subcultures.  Bourdain has traveled to Tokyo countless times, but on this trip he is in search of the city’s dark, extreme, and bizarrely fetishistic underside.

CNN Correspondent Changes

CNN Names Jessica Yellin Chief Domestic Affairs Correspondent; Promotes Brianna Keilar and Jim Acosta to Sr. White House Correspondents;

Names Rene Marsh to Correspondent

           

CNN Washington bureau chief and senior vice president Sam Feist announced today that the network is promoting several of its Washington-based correspondents beginning next month. The changes come while the network continues to enhance newsgathering capabilities and on the heels of launching several new programs including The Lead with Jake Tapper, New Day, and announcing the re-launch of Crossfire.

“With these changes, CNN’s Washington team of correspondents will be even better positioned to deliver on our core missions of breaking news and enterprise reporting,” said Feist. “As CNN continues to grow its newsgathering capabilities, we are thrilled to have such an outstanding group of correspondents to move into these key roles.”

            The changes include:

•  Jessica Yellin, who has distinguished herself with exceptional coverage of the Obama administration and the 2008 presidential campaign, will become chief domestic affairs correspondent. In this new assignment, she will report on a wide range of political stories providing analysis and coverage of domestic affairs across the network’s programming and digital platforms. Yellin will also serve as a substitute anchor in various positions for the network. During her time as chief White House correspondent she reported a 90-minute documentary with exclusive interviews of President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton, Mrs. Obama, and others during the president’s re-election campaign. As a member of the 2008 Peabody Award-winning campaign team, Yellin’s reporting was prominent throughout the election year as she traveled throughout the key primary and battleground states.

•  Brianna Keilar, who has provided strong, comprehensive coverage of the Obama Administration, has been named Sr. White House correspondent. She has been reporting extensively on President Obama and his administration from the nation’s capital and from around the world since 2008. Previously, Keilar served as congressional correspondent, responsible for reporting on both the U.S. House and Senate. In that role, she was honored with the National Press Foundation’s Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for Distinguished Reporting of Congress for her fall 2008 coverage of the $700 billion bank bailout. Prior to covering Congress, Keilar served as general assignment correspondent for the network, reporting on a wide range of stories, including the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, where she was the first CNN correspondent on the ground. Keilar will continue to serve as a substitute anchor for programs across the network.

• Jim Acosta, who emerged as one of the key reporters on the campaign trail in 2008 and 2012, has been promoted to Sr. White House correspondent. During his six-and-half years with the network, Acosta worked his way up to national political correspondent and served as the network’s lead reporter on the 2012 Romney presidential campaign. In addition to breaking significant stories during the election season, Acosta also covered important stories on policy and culture for the network and its digital platforms. In 2009, when the administration lifted some restrictions on American travel to Cuba, Acosta reported from Havana, Cuba, on the effects of the policy change and on the post-Cold War relationship of the U.S. and Cuba. During his new role as Sr. White House correspondent, Acosta will continue to serve as a substitute anchor for the network.

• Rene Marsh, who has been reporting for CNN Newsource since early 2012, has been named CNN’s new aviation and government regulation correspondent. In her new role, Marsh will focus on all matters related to aviation and transportation—from safety and security to passenger issues, as well as examining how government impacts the lives of all Americans. Marsh comes from CNN Newsource, where she reported for the network as a national correspondent serving more than 800 affiliates. During her time with CNN Newsource, Marsh covered the 2012 presidential election campaign including live coverage from the National Republican Convention in Tampa, Fla. Marsh has traveled throughout the country and covered many breaking news stories including Hurricane Sandy and the Oklahoma tornadoes.
