Christiane Amanpour and Emily Maitlis: Behind The Headlines
21 May 2025
The Origin Stage
Join two of the most trusted voices in journalism, Emily Maitlis (The News Agents) and Christiane Amanpour – who has just signed a podcast deal with Global – for an unfiltered conversation that goes beyond
the headlines. Their podcasts pick up where TV left off – bringing listeners along for raw insights, untold moments, and honest reflections that don’t make it in a 90-second broadcast package.
These two veteran female journalists pull back the curtain on what it means to be truthful – not neutral. In a world saturated with soundbites, podcasts are creating space for deeper storytelling – and audiences
are leaning in.
In this session, Emily and Christiane discuss the role podcasts play in building trust in news media, shaping culture, and engaging communities. You’ll discover:
- The untold stories behind major events in the news
- Why podcasts have become a raw, authentic storytelling space
