CNNGo: One site, multiple cities, an unrivaled experience
Launched in September 2009 with a homepage connecting independent websites in eight cities -- Bangkok, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo -- CNNGo covers travel, lifestyle, personalities and latest trends in the most fascinating and vibrant places in the world.
In 2012 and beyond, we'll be expanding our territory by adding new cities and countries to the mix.
On CNNGo you'll find in one place, daily updates on the best our cities and region have to offer, as well as travel and food ideas, news, commentary and entertainment.
This means more than just places to go, things to buy and endless suggestions for great restaurants and bars to try. Yes, CNNGo has got all those, but if it's standard travel fluff and blather you're looking for, you'll never find it here.
As an independent site -- and, yes, we always pay our own way -- CNNGo provides you with a better view into the city in which you live and the places you travel; a sharp, witty, concise companion with firsthand experience in every place we cover. In short, CNNGo is a city and region guide written by insiders.
We do it by tapping into a dedicated network of locally based editors and contributors, as well as local bloggers, opinion makers and trend-setters -- the people who form the soul of a city. If you're a professional writer who'd like to contribute to CNNGo, contact us.
To cover our ever-changing world the way it deserves to be covered, however, we need something even more vital -- you.
You don't have to be a pro to write for CNNGo. That's why we've created a column called iReport, for anyone who wants to share experiences, photographs, local insights, neighborhood gems and unique views of the world. Check out iReport assignments and iReport here.
Whether you're a local, a business traveller, planning a holiday or on never-ending vacation, CNNGo can show you things you've never seen before -- some of them right outside your door.
In case you're wondering how CNNGo is different from CNN.com or the CNN you watch on television, we're a separate division of CNN with our own regional staff -- a much smaller operation than CNN's global team of 4,000 news professionals.
Like CNN, however, we demand accuracy and professionalism. We provide balanced, well-researched posts and remain objective at all times.
You might also note when scanning CNNGo that we focus on travel/lifestyle/entertainment. While we do feature a selection of videos, news and other items from CNN.com, if it's the latest news from around the world that you're looking for, you'll find it online at the International Edition of CNN.com.
And if you'd rather just switch on the TV, you'll find all the news you need and other great programming on your CNN channels.
Thanks for logging on. And please let us know what you think of CNNGo.
