Traditionally, many women in media tend to specialize in one area, but as the industry evolves, more female journalists are branching out into diverse platforms to keep their audiences engaged and informed.
With the rise of digital media and podcasting, journalists are finding new ways to stay relevant, increase their income, and expand their influence.
Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s Chief International Anchor, is embracing this shift by launching original podcasts in partnership with UK-based media company Global.
Known for her fearless journalism and incisive interviews, Amanpour may be adding podcasting as a platform to combat disinformation and hold power accountable.
This move is significant, as it allows such a media powerhouse and journalist to connect with more audiences in a direct and meaningful way, addressing global issues beyond traditional television and expanding her journalism career into entrepreneurship—a powerful example of women shaping the media landscape.
Her first podcast is set to launch soon, marking an exciting new chapter in her career.
Christiane Amanpour, 67, is a British-Iranian journalist and CNN’s Chief International Anchor.
She was born to a British mother and an Iranian father and has built a career defined by fearless reporting and hard-hitting interviews with global leaders.
Over her career, she has won multiple journalism awards, including Emmys and Peabody Awards.
She was previously married to James Rubin, a former U.S. diplomat, and they have one son, Darius John Rubin.
