NEW YORK, March 5 (UPI) -- Newsweek's international editor Fareed Zakaria will host a weekly, half-hour international affairs series on U.S public television stations.
The program, "Foreign Exchange with Fareed Zakaria," is produced by Azimuth Media in association with Oregon Public Broadcasting and distributed by American Public Television. The program debuts in April.
"Since Sept. 11, 2001, Americans have become far more interested in foreign affairs than in decades past," said Zakaria. "On 'Foreign Exchange,' we'll find out what the world is doing and thinking, why they love and hate us, and how we can understand and navigate a globe that often seems to be spinning in six different directions all at once."
Zakaria has been a regular member of the roundtable of ABC News' "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," as well as serving as an analyst for ABC News.
Taping weekly in Washington, Zakaria will probe the global questions of the moment from not only a U.S. perspective, but through the eyes of newsmakers and journalists from around the world.
