Bangkok--Feb 7--Francom Asia
CNN is offering comprehensive support and coverage of the MTV Asia aid benefit concert to be held tonight in Bangkok.
In addition to Aneesh Raman, CNN Bangkok Correspondent, Monita Rajpal, an anchor for CNN International, is in town to prepare a one-hour special program that will be aired on February 6 on CNN.
Both Aneesh Raman and Monita Rajpal will perform live behind-the-scenes reports and special interviews with the artists and celebrities.
CNN is partnering with MTV to help raise awareness for the continued need to support relief efforts in Tsunami-battered South Asia. CNN has produced nine reports chronicling the human element of tragedy in the aftermath of the Tsunami. The intimate video-montage pieces, featuring first hand accounts of the survivors, will air throughout the concert.
"CNN is proud to partner with MTV for such an important cause," says Rena Golden, senior vice president, CNN International. "We, the media, need to work together to help maintain the world's attention on reconstruction needs, and the difficult process of healing for the people around the Indian Ocean."
