NEXT EYE ON WILL BE.... Eye on South Korea in June.

From time to time CNN deidicates a week which gives CNN audiences a look inside a specified country. It is a detailed show, from which you can find out a lot about the country of focus. We have witnessed that there were 2 Eye Ons for both China and India because these are the two most developing countries in the world.

Previous Eye Ons (Thanks to Spitfire for this info.)
2 Eye on China's
2 Eye on India's
1 Eye on Africa (in the main ruined by being on a big news week + mainly focued on South Africa rather than the whole of the country.)
1 Eye on Brazil
1 Eye on Middle East
1 Eye on Russia

Eye On India has certainly been entertaining and informative so far. Possibly the best of the "Eye On" series so far.

Below is an excerpt from an interesting article relating to "Eye On India". Full article can be read using the link above.

In a unique marketing road show activity called 'Express Yourself', CNN branded vehicles are travelling around three Indian cities - Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore - encouraging youth to express their views on issues relevant to them.

Coinciding with CNN's week-long Eye on India: Generation Next, the innovative travelling exhibit is also distributing flyers that soliciting opinion on topics ranging from what it is like to be young in India today, the importance of religion, caste, arranged marriages, what makes the youth proud to be Indian.

Eye on India: Generation Next is being promoted extensively through an aggressive, 360 degree marketing campaign, a press note from the channel says.

I have been to that Red Fort, and that palace is just so magical and beautiful. The whole week on India, from where Monita and Anjali were reporting, the yellow temple on Tue/Wed...., all are so beautiful and i really enjoyed watching Eye on India.

What have we had

2 Eye on China's
2 Eye on India's
1 Eye on South Africa (in the main ruined by being on a big news week)
1 Eye on Brazil
1 Eye on Middle East

China and India both 1 billion plus populations, easy to see why 2.

Will there ever be a Eye on France week? probably not though it would be my choice, an Eye on Spain also would be welcome here as would another Eye on the Middle East for obvious reasons.

An Eye on Turkey week is a distinct possibility as is an Eye on Eastern Europe or an Eye on Russia.

1 Eye on South Africa (in the main ruined by being on a big news week)

Actually, it was "Eye on Africa," which was supposed to cover the entire continent. However, I do admit that the one report I watched was from South Africa.

Between the previous and the current "Eye on India," there were 1.5 years. I think that is a reasonable amount of time for CNN to wait before it eyes a country/region that it covered previously.

I agree that CNN should do "Eye on Russia" or "Eye on Eastern Europe" in the foreseeable future.

It was very informative. But I would have preferred seeing the Eye on the Middle East format where they devoted a full hour each day for the show instead of little pieces here and there during the CNN Todays.

I also have fond memories of "Eye on China." On that week, CNN rebroadcast the China episode of "Business Traveller." Indeed, China was the focus of the week.

Apparently, CNN was attempting to balance between covering the current world news stories and covering India this week. I think CNN did a decent job of maintaining this delicate balance.

Wasn't there an Eye on Russia week hosted by Becky in either June or July 2006? Or was that called something else?

She did a "Putin, Power and Politics" from Russia during the winter. I remember Hala commented on the alliteration quite a bit.

Ah I remember now. It would of been an excellent opportunity for an Eye in Russia.

Not a bad guess as there will indeed be an Eye on Russia week. :wink:
