How is FRONTLINE/World
different from FRONTLINE?
FRONTLINE/World is produced jointly by KQED
public television in San Francisco and FRONTLINE
producers at WGBH
public television in Boston. FRONTLINE/World will continue
the long-established FRONTLINE tradition of serious,
independent reporting, but we will have our own distinct identity.
First, FRONTLINE/World's focus will always be international.
Second, each World episode will feature several short
stories as opposed to one hour-long documentary. Third, we'll
be working with a younger, more diverse group of journalists
-- writers and producers from other countries as well as the
United States -- who will take viewers on a journey of discovery
to another country or culture. Some of these reporters will
be seasoned journalists or even a well-known novelist or poet
like Andrei Codrescu; others will be recent graduates of journalism
schools who have never produced for television before. All of
them will be thoughtful, curious individuals with a compelling
story to tell.

Who does FRONTLINE/World's
theme music?
The Supreme Beings of Leisure, a Los Angeles-based electronic
pop band, created our music. Their music ranges from trip-hop
to funk to retro-tinged disco. One reviewer calls the group
"good hodge-podge techno." Hodge-podge isn't a bad way to describe
a band whose members' relatives hail from countries as diverse
as India, Iran, Japan, the Dominican Republic and Ireland. So
far, the Supreme Beings of Leisure have released two CDs.

How do I comment about
a specific program?

our programs and publish many of these comments on the Web site
so that others can read them. As with "Letters to the Editor"
sections of newspapers or magazines, we cannot publish all letters
(we get hundreds after each new story). We try to post a good
cross-section of comments. And, yes, we read every letter.
