CNN-IBN and IBN7 have announced exclusive news formats to engage with audiences on Facebook. These fresh formats will enable the IBN news network to connect with a growing digital audience who have a strong affinity for Facebook as a reliable source of news and entertainment. CNN-IBN will also leverage the platform for its 'CNN-IBN Indian of the Year' awards.

In a first-of-its-kind broadcast integration, people on Facebook will get to participate in the process of choosing their own Indian of the year. This arrangement will allow CNN-IBN to have dedicated segments through the voting period and showcase insights based on Facebook APIs. CNN-IBN will post native videos around the initiative, have nominee Q&As to build engagement and of course, conduct voting for the Popular Choice category of the 'CNN-IBN Indian of the Year 2014'.

In addition to this, CNN-IBN is also covering an array of news items from breaking news, special reports, top stories and exclusive interviews, from the world of news, entertainment and sports in the form of native video-casts. These exclusive videos are produced for Facebook in the form of digestible 1 - 2 minute news segments titled 'CNN-IBN FB Special' and posted multiple times a day. This differentiated content which is mobile-friendly has received tremendous response right since its launch on November 29, 2013.
