's news programming. CNNI emerged as an internationally oriented news channel, with staff members of various national backgrounds, even though some accusations of a pro-U.S. editorial bias persist. CNN International was awarded the Liberty Medal on July 4, 1997. Ted Turner, in accepting the medal on behalf of the network, said: "My idea was, we’re just going to give people the facts…We didn’t have to show liberty and democracy as good, and show socialism or totalitarianism as bad. If we just showed them both the way they were…clearly everybody’s going to choose liberty and democracy."
In 1998, creative director Morgan Almeida defined a coherent re-brand strategy to target its diverse global market, making the on-air look less overtly American and with a more "international" aesthetic.
The network undertook another major rebranding effort in 2006 overseen by the award winning creative vision of Mark Wright. The ticker was replaced by a flipper, on-screen graphics were more unified and from October 2006 until August 2007, new studios were progressively rolled-out. However on 24 January 2009, CNN/I adopted the "lower-thirds" CNN/US introduced a month earlier.

Throughout January until September 2009, CNN/I adapted more programs that became geared towards a primetime European audience with a few titled after CNN/I personalities, most notably the interview program Amanpour. On 21 September 2009, the channel launched a new tagline "Go Beyond Borders" and consolidated its general news bulletins World News, CNN Today, World News Asia, World News Europe and Your World Today into a single newscast entitled
World Report.
The motto Go Beyond Borders emphasizes the international perspective that gives the information in this string and the plurality of audiences you are going. With this motto, CNN also refers to the various platforms to disseminate their contents.
The new image has been created mano a mano between creativity and marketing department and agency CNN Tooth & Nail.
An important element of reform is the new evening program that adds the broadcast of programs Amanpour and World One from 2010, plus new schedules will be rearranged programs during prime-time.

The schedules of the different regional versions no longer differ significantly from each other, but there are still minor variations such as weather updates. CNN has reported that their broadcast agreement in mainland China includes an arrangement that their signal must pass through a Chinese-controlled satellite. In this way, Chinese authorities have been able to blackout CNNI segments at will. CNN has also said that their broadcasts are not widely available in mainland China, but rather only in certain diplomatic compounds, hotels, and apartment blocks.
CNN International can now be watched free of charge at CNN.com on a part-time basis. During the breaks, headlines, market data and weather are shown.
