Foreign Exchange (previously Foreign Exchange with Fareed Zakaria) is a weekly, half-hour international affairs series on the PBS network. The series premiered in April 2005, and for three seasons was hosted by author and journalist Fareed Zakaria. Beginning in January 2008, journalist Daljit Dhaliwal became the new host and the title of the show was changed accordingly. The series explores current international issues in conversations with journalists, politicians, and other newsmakers, and examines America's role in an increasingly globalized world.
The show is a production of Azimuth Media and Oregon Public Broadcasting, and is distributed by American Public Television. Major funding is provided by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Additional support from the Ford Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Through a partnership with the citizen journalism website Helium.com the show offers viewers an opportunity to get their voices heard on the most pressing global issues. The issues are chosen by Foreign Exchange and range from Kosovo as an inspiration to other independence movements in the world to the future of socialism in Latin America. Essays are written and rated on Helium.com, and the best essays get featured on the show.[1]
