CNN, Nokia announce international partnership

The collaboration debuted during recent coverage of the royal wedding with the use of Nokia's 3D maps across CNN's platform. 

Also included in the partnership is the CNN app for Nokia.

"This collaboration is a great fit for us as both companies share a similar philosophy on connecting people beyond borders through the combination of compelling news content and highly sophisticated technology,” said Tony Maddox, MD of CNN International.

He added that the international scale of both businesses makes the scope of the collaboration particularly exciting.

“Nokia and CNN share the belief that news is now mobile, powerfully democratic, and can immediately be shared by people around the world,” said Jerri DeVard, Nokia CMO.

“We are pleased that CNN wants to use Nokia’s innovative mapping services for its international news platforms, and we are excited to work with CNN to deliver a compelling news service to users of Nokia phones,” he continued.
