- Jonathan Mann (journalist)
Jonathan Mann is a Canadian journalist working for CNN International. He is currently the anchor and host of "Insight", an in-depth current affairs program. Every December, Mann hosts "The Prize for Peace", a discussion with the Nobel Peace Prize winner, live from Oslo, Norway.
Mann was born in Montreal, Canada to Adina and Harry Mann. Early in his career, he worked as a freelance journalist in India covering the aftermath of the assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984. He captured Canadian and international headlines when, defying a ban imposed on foreigners in the state of Punjab, he was arrested and placed in police custody in the city of Amritsar.

The incident received widespread media coverage and was even debated during question period in the House of Commons. Thanks largely to a concerted diplomatic effort by the Canadian government, Mann was relased one week later. The attention drawn to Mann during the affair is credited with helping launch his successful journalistic career, leading to work with the CBC Radio, NBC Radio, and later CNN, where he became the 24-hour news network's first Paris correspondent.
Mann has also worked for CNN's U.S. network as an anchor for several weekend and prime time weeknight programs. As a Montreal native, he speaks fluent French. He received his primary school education at the Jewish People's School, where he also learned Hebrew and Yiddish.
He currently hosts the slightly more humoristic "Campaign Trail" every Friday on CNN, about the happenings of the week concerning the 2008 US Presidential Election.
Before working for CNN, Mann worked as a journalist for United Press International and the Montreal Gazette.
Mann received a bachelor's degree in philosophy from York University in Toronto, Canada.
