How is FRONTLINE/World different from FRONTLINE?
FRONTLINE/World is produced jointly by KQED public television in San Francisco and FRONTLINE producers at WGBH public television in Boston. FRONTLINE/World will continue the long-established FRONTLINE tradition of serious, independent reporting, but we will have our own distinct identity. First, FRONTLINE/World’s focus will always be international. Second, each World episode will feature several short stories as opposed to one hour-long documentary. Third, we’ll be working with a younger, more diverse group of journalists — writers and producers from other countries as well as the United States — who will take viewers on a journey of discovery to another country or culture. Some of these reporters will be seasoned journalists or even a well-known novelist or poet like Andrei Codrescu; others will be recent graduates of journalism schools who have never produced for television before. All of them will be thoughtful, curious individuals with a compelling story to tell.
