Going International: A Conversation With CNN International's Kim Brunhuber

In the world of news, Black media makers are taking the world by storm with international coverage. For media professionals on the international beat, news doesn’t stop at America. From foreign desks to embeds, Black journalists are unapologetically bringing multicultural coverage to the forefront. CNN International anchor and correspondent KIM BRUNHUBER is one such soul. Ever since he made the switch from local to world news, he’s decked his portfolio with stories on foreign policy, human rights, health crises, and conflicts. From villages and cities to disaster sites and Olympic grounds, BRUNHUBER’S passport is decorated with stamps. And at each destination, he strives to connect with people on a local level. He tells THE SIDEBAR producer KATHRYN JONES that the threshold for what media organizations and the public care about is limited and that it is vital to help Black international stories break through its thick membrane. The opinions heard in this episode belong to the individuals who made them and not to NYABJ. Music by HoliznaRAPS.
