MUMBAI: CNN, the 24-hour news network, is launching ?Our Mobile Society?.

Beginning 24 September, a full week of ?Our Mobile Society? coverage will air on CNN International as segments in ?News Stream? at 5:30 pm.

The show is an editorial initiative that examines the impact of mobile technology on our lives. It will explore the new world where mobile technology has shifted from nicety to necessity.

Appearing across all of CNN platforms, the month-long coverage will examine the impact of mobile devices on topics including personal relationships, work habits, cultural quirks, heath, finance, and etiquette.

CNN VP-mobile Louis Gump said, "With the emergence of new capabilities, mobile has become increasingly important to CNN?s global business and the way we interact with our users. Inspired by our own dynamic evolution of content delivery and consumption, CNN launched ?Our Mobile Society? to further uncover the impact of mobile on the world around us."

Additionally, CNN?s apps and mobile site will feature a special section dedicated to ?Our Mobile Society,? and CNN iReport will launch a new uploader, allowing users to create and share iReports directly from CNN?s mobile website for the first time ever.

CNN Digital vice president and managing editor Meredith Artley added, "We?re excited to launch this cross-platform coverage that will focus on the many ways mobile devices have changed our lives and our world. The impact is profound -- from industry innovations to our own attention spans, our relationships, the way we work, how we entertain ourselves and beyond."

Throughout the month, CNN Digital will investigate a wide range of topics related to our mobile society, including special reports from CNNMoney.com. Personalised tablet magazine Zite will be adding a section entitled ?Our Mobile Society? to its apps as well.
