    Cable News Network, almost always referred to by its initialism CNN, is a U.S. cable newsnetwork founded in 1980 by Ted Turner.[1][2] Upon its launch, CNN was the first network to provide 24-hour television news coverage,[3] and the first all-news television network in the United States.[4]While the news network has numerous affiliates, CNN primarily broadcasts from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, the Time Warner Center in New York City, and studios in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. CNN is owned by parent company Time Warner, and the U.S. news network is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System.[5] CNN is sometimes referred to as CNN/U.S. to distinguish the North American channel from its international counterpart, CNN International. As of June 2008, CNN is available in over 93 million U.S. households.[6] Broadcast coverage extends to over 890,000 American hotel rooms,[6] and the U.S broadcast is also shown in Canada. Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories.[7] In terms of regular viewers (Nielsen ratings), CNN rates as the United States' number two cable news network and has the most unique viewers (Nielsen Cume Ratings).[8] History Early history CNN's first broadcast with David Walkerand Lois Hart on June 1, 1980. Main article: History of CNN: 1980-2003 The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday June 1, 1980. After an introduction by Ted Turner, the husband and wife team of David Walker and Lois Hart anchored the first newscast.[9] Since its debut, CNN has expanded its reach to a number of cable and satellite television networks, several web sites, specialized closed-circuit networks (such as CNN Airport Network), and a radio network.

  • The Media Industry Is Complicit, and Good Journalists Pay the Price
    Gaslit Nation 9 - The Media Industry is Complicit, and Good Journalists Pay the Price .. CLIP OF NATALIE PORTMAN’S SPEECH AT Variety’s Women of Power 2018: So ​ ​ ​ what can you do? First, money. You can give or you can raise money for the Legal Defense Fund. Second, gather. Meet with other women and see what changes you want to make. Through times up or on your own gathering has been the central principle of what we do and has created every action we have taken. Third, listen if any group you're in has people who only look like you, change that group. It’s an awakening experience to hear from women who have different experiences of marginalization. Fourth, demand. The women in this room are the most powerful women in our industry. All you in this room have the power to negotiate for equal pay, or grant equal pay, or popularize equal pay in our culture. Be embarrassed if everyone in your workplace looks like you. Pay attention to physical ability, age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity and make sure you've got all kinds of experiences represented. Fifth, gossip well. Stop the rhetoric that a woman is crazy or difficult. If a man says to you that a woman is crazy or difficult, ask him what bad thing did you do to her. That's a code. That's a code word. He is trying to discredit her reputation. Make efforts to hire people who've had their reputation smeared and retaliation. Sixth, don't be shy.

  • Media Babes MULTIPLE EXAMPLES from CABLE NEWS
    Media Babes By Stephanie Taylor SPECIAL FOR FILMS FOR TWO® MULTIPLE EXAMPLES FROM CABLE NEWS Should anchor women be "hot?" According to GQ Magazine, the answer is yes. Megyn Kelly is the host of America Live on the Fox News Channel, a show which discusses legal and political issues. Kelly was interviewed by GQ (the men’s magazine) for their December 2010 issue. With tongue in cheek, Greg Veis called his article "She Reports, We Decided: She's Hot," riffing on the Fox News slogan "We report you decide." Kelly’s show launched in February 2010. According to Business Insider, ratings for America Live shot up after publication of the GQ interview (which included photos of Kelly posed in a little black dress slip with red platform-heeled sandals). So, do sexier women anchors bring in higher ratings? I don’t want to base my argument on a photo layout for a men’s magazine, so here are some examples of how Kelly appears on air: On Feb 18, while interviewing country music star Joe Nichols about his participation in a charity to raise money to support the military, Kelly wore a fitted sleeveless dark red V-neck dress. On Feb 20, while reporting on an 11-year-old boy who had been arrested for drawing violent pictures, Kelly wore a black long sleeved top with an asymmetrical neckline. © Stephanie Taylor Page 1 of 3 3/6/11 On Feb 23, while hosting a debate on whether or not a toddler should live, Kelly wore a hot pink long sleeved top showing a bit of cleavage.
