Spanish journalist Ana Pastor joins CNN’s team of contributors

CNN announced today that Spanish journalist Ana Pastor will join the network’s team of contributors and will conduct interviews with important Spanish and international personalities from the fields of politics, arts and culture, and sports. The interviews will be shown on CNN International and CNN en Español, as well as on the networks’ digital platforms {www.cnnespanol.com} and {www.cnninternational.com}. “To become part of CNN is a triple honor: it means boarding the world’s flagship in TV journalism. It means becoming part of a team which, for generations, has been an example of professionalism, hard work, and faith in the power of information and democracy. It is also a personal opportunity to continue my work in that which I believe in the most: honest journalism that is committed to the public during a crucial time, when the economic crisis presents a complex crossroads for Spain, Europe and the US”, said Pastor. Cynthia Hudson, senior vice president and general manager for CNN en Español and Hispanic strategy for CNN/US, said: “It is a great opportunity to have a journalist of Ana’s stature and experience join our team. We will, without a doubt, continue to strengthen our brand and relevance in Spain and the Spanish-speaking world with interviews and reports that enhance our brand and global reach.”
