Broadening the Discussion: FRONTLINE’s Post-Show Chats
developed for FRONTLINE
As part of the team that instigated FRONTLINE’s live chats, I helped create and manage the chats, which take place on the website with producers the day after each film.
Well over 200,000 chat views have been recorded since inception, and The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Financial Times, Reddit, and Wired, among many others others, have partnered on the project.
Notably, the father of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the accused Wikileaker, took part in a chat, which also featured a guest appearance from Julian Assange. Former FBI interrogator Ali Soufan and Sharif El-Gamal, developer of the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque,” have also been featured.
