CNN announces Laura Jackson as new Seasons host
CNN has announced that British TV broadcaster and entrepreneur Laura Jackson will host the second instalment of its new multiplatform series Seasons, airing from 13th December on CNN International.
Seasons explores the shifting trends shaping global culture across fashion, travel, food, technology, design, and art.
In the new episode, and across digital and social content, Jackson will explore the rise of slow luxury in Europe, a movement where patience and purpose define what it means to live well. From luxury train journeys that bring back the glamour of travel, to English sparkling wine that takes years to perfect, Jackson sees how consumers are turning away from fast consumption and toward objects and experiences that carry meaning and purpose.
Ryan Smith, Executive Director, CNN Global Productions, says, “Seasons goes behind the brands to understand the people and craftsmanship shaping global trends today, and Laura Jackson is the perfect host to encapsulate this goal. With her passion for creativity and her distinct aesthetic, Laura will explore the lifestyle, travel and luxury trends that transcend and inspire popular culture today. We’re excited to introduce CNN’s global audience into Laura’s world.”
Jackson, whose broadcasting career spans television, radio, and digital platforms, said of hosting the show, “Joining CNN for this new episode of Seasons has been an honour. In a world moving faster than ever, this show is an invitation to pause and rediscover unique and meaningful experiences, and to be able to share them with viewers around the world is a real treat.”
