CNN's "News to Me" debuts May 19

News To Me, the first cable news program comprised of user-generated video, will debut on Headline News on Saturday, May 19.

The program will highlight the best that citizen journalism has to offer and will be hosted by award-winning actor/producer Eric Lanford.

With content ranging from serious to humorous, Lanford updates viewers on current events through the eyes – and lenses – of citizen journalists. Lanford also interviews many people who have submitted CNN I-Reports, compelling content captured by CNN viewers with personal cell phones, cameras or other devices.

By speaking directly with I-Reporters, Lanford gains insight into what it felt like at the scene as they captured their footage.
