Fionnuala left RTE Television in Ireland, looking for new challenges.

She travelled to the United States to take up a job as news anchor at Cable News Network better know as CNN in Atlanta, the most successful newsnetwork in the world.

 

In September 1997 she helped to successfully launch 'CNN This Morning', CNN's International morning news programme produced from London and Berlin.

Meanwhile Fionnuala is CNN International's top presenter in London. She took up the role as anchor of the two 30-minute evening news programmes broadcast out of London since November 1998. She is also the host of the CNN International's weekly culture magazine programme 'Inside Europe'. The programme features offshoots of the big news stories. It covers a different topic every week. 

 

Fionnuala anchors 'World News' mainly from the studio London and from time to time from the CNN Center in Atlanta. Among the stories Fionnuala has anchored for 'World News' are the humanitarian crisis in Zaire, the Docklands Bomb in London, the Bosnian conflict, the British elections and the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.
