US TV network CBS and makers Live Nation and Global Citizen said in a joint statement the show format "distracts" from the activists' work. "Global activism centres on collaboration and cooperation, not competition. We apologise to the activists, hosts, and the larger activist community - we got it wrong," said Global Citizen.
Format of Priyanka Chopra's new show 'The Activist' changed due to criticism https://www.aninews.in/news/entertainment/hollywood/format-of-priyanka-chopras-new-show-the-activist-changed-due-to-criticism20210916083402/
Amid the ongoing criticism, CBS and producing partners Global Citizen and Live Nation issued a statement announcing the change in the show's format. The Statement said.. "'The Activist' was designed to show a wide audience the passion, long hours, and ingenuity that activists put into changing the world, hopefully inspiring others to do the same. However, it has become apparent the format of the show as announced distracts from the vital work these incredible activists do in their communities every day. The push for global change is not a competition and requires a global effort,"
"As a result, we are changing the format to remove the competitive element and reimagining the concept into a primetime documentary special (air date to be announced), it will showcase the tireless work of six activists and the impact they have advocating for causes they deeply believe in. Each activist will be awarded a cash grant for the organization of their choice, as was planned for the original show,"
