CNN Year 1
The country, before and after the launch of CNN Portugal
From the announcement of the brand’s arrival in Portugal and the opening of recruitment that received thousands of applications, to the creation of the largest news studio in the country, the project’s kickoff, and all the days that followed. The documentary on the first 365 days of CNN Portugal, on air and online, reveals unprecedented behind – the – scenes footage and challenges its professionals to reflect on the change that occurred in journalism and national media.
Mário Ferreira, Nuno Santos, Pedro Santos Guerreiro, Raquel Matos Cruz, Júlio Magalhães, Cristina Reyna, and Maria João Avillez are just a few who share their testimony and experience throughout the documentary.
The return of war to Europe also marks the reflection on how CNN Portugal professionals mobilized to provide coverage on all fronts – and how this determined the project’s leadership. In just a few months, CNN Portugal became the most watched news channel in the country. It’s the CNN effect.
