Updated: CNN’s coverage of Egyptian Revolution
CNN continues to cover the situation in Egypt with a number teams on the ground in Cairo: Ben Wedeman (@benCNN), Arwa Damon (@arwaCNN) and Fionnuala Sweeney.
More than a dozen CNN staff are newsgathering and reporting for all of CNN Worldwide’s platforms and providing comprehensive live coverage across: CNN/U.S. and CNN International on television; CNN.com; CNN’s free apps for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch; and CNNArabic.com, and CNN’s Arabic language website based in Dubai which draws upon CNN’s global resources of journalists and video production.
In addition to the reporting from Egypt, CNN has reporters covering this story from other key places in the region, including Nic Robertson in Bahrain (@nicrobertstonCNN); Mohammed Jamjoom in Yemen (@jamjoomcnn); Rima Maktabi in Lebanon and from Washington, D.C., senior White House correspondent Ed Henry (@edhenrycnn) and foreign affairs correspondent Jill Dougherty (@cnnjill).

CNN is also taking advantage of its large newsgathering hub in Abu Dhabi and the International Desk in Atlanta, which has numerous Arab speakers and specialists.
CNN is also covering the story through the lens of social media. Using CNN iReport and other platforms – much as the network did during the Iranian uprising in June ‘09 – CNN is showing this story in a different light.

‘CNN flexed its multi-channel muscle to cover the clash of protesters, combining U.S. and International CNN crews, and carrying the combined reporting on both channels.’ Mark Joyella, Mediaite, February 2, 2011
‘CNN, which has an international channel as well as two channels in the United States, had a more robust presence in Egypt than any other U.S.-based television company. On Friday, the company had three correspondents in Egypt, and one more on the way.’ Brian Stelter, New York Times, January 28, 2011
