  • 1 Remarks by Georgia Tech President G
    REMARKS BY GEORGIA TECH PRESIDENT G. WAYNE CLOUGH Ivan Allen Award presented to Ted Turner, March 31, 2008 This year’s Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Progress and Service recognizes an individual whose incredible career is larger than life. He is a sportsman who has won international championships… an entrepreneur who has launched and built successful companies… an astute businessman who has bought and sold companies… an environmentalist whose massive land holdings preserve wildlife habitat and conserve biodiversity… and a philanthropist whose gifts have reached breath-taking heights. Ted Turner was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, but when he was nine years old, his family moved to Savannah, Georgia, opening the door for him to develop a life-long passion for sailing. He was soon competing in the junior program of the Savannah Yacht Club, and participated in the 1964 Olympic trials. But he is best known for his international sailing races. In 1977 he skippered the yacht Courageous to victory in the America’s Cup. Two years later, he won the Fastnet Race at the helm of the yacht Tenacious , despite a terrible storm that resulted in loss of life. Ted Turner went to Brown University intending to major in the classics, but soon switched to economics, and his knack for that subject is reflected in his outstanding business career. At the age of 24, following graduation and service in the Coast Guard, his career was launched when he inherited a small outdoor advertising agency from his father. Seven years later, he used the advertising agency, which he had built up, to acquire Channel 17, a small, independent Atlanta TV station that became WTBS.

Ted Turner in the late 1970s and 1980s successfully built WTBS Channel 17, a small Atlanta, Georgia UHF station, into the first “SuperStation.” This study examined 53 articles from The Atlanta Journal- Constitution’s coverage from 1970-1989 to determine how the local newspaper reported on Turner and his “SuperStation.” The review of articles showed that three themes emerged in the newspaper’s coverage of him, including Turner as a hands-on CEO, a social/political activist, and a media innovator. This research helps to further the body of knowledge on an important moment in the history of the cable TV industry.

  • LAST STAND: Ted Turner's Quest to Save a Troubled Planet ADVANCE
    LAST STAND: Ted Turner’s Quest to Save a Troubled Planet ADVANCE PRAISE “LAST STAND is a great literary portrait of the many parts of a fascinating and important man – Ted Turner. Ted is on a mission to save the world and the world should be grateful to have an energetic and imaginative friend.” —Tom Brokaw, lead anchor emeritus NBC News and author of “The Greatest Generation” “Ted Turner is one of the great originals of American history, an innovator of the first rank, and, as LAST STAND shows, a unique human innovation of his own making. Out of his many achievements, the most important may be the proof that capitalism and environmentalism can be joined to major humanitarian effect.” —Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner BOOK REVIEWS KURKUS REVIEWS Journalist Wilkinson (Science Under Siege: The Politicians' War on Nature and Truth, 1998) explores the back story of Ted Turner's evolution from media mogul and devotee of Ayn Rand to the most successful and influential green capitalist in the world. The author unravels Turner's motives behind his involvement with the United Nations, his anti-nuclear stance, and his love of buffalos and prairie dogs, and he probes Turner's troubled family history through his early years as a striving businessman and media tycoon, revealing little known facets of Turner's complex life. Wilkinson constructs his narrative around interviews with Turner, his family and the multitude of individuals who have dealt with Turner. But the heart of the story chronicles Turner's evolving environmental consciousness, spurred on by his purchase of Hope Plantation in South Carolina in 1976.

    Snitker 36-year witness on how ‘content of character’ is byword for Braves’ success By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 Never is the quality of charac- ter in a ballplayer more need- ed than the trail of tears through the postseason just commencing. Baseball is the ultimate game of failure, and never are the odds more cruel than in the September stretch leading to the October minefields, trip- wires aplenty waiting to blow up proud 100-win teams long before they reach the World Series.

And yet the fact the Braves have continually replenished themselves from within has kept them almost constantly in contention, which is the object of the game, anyway. You can’t be in position to reach, and win, the Fall Classic unless you’re also within hailing distance of first place or the wild card. The Braves almost always have had both in sight. Serving as a model for underachieving Chicago teams seeking to build back their farm systems, the Braves have had just one short dry spell, in the late 2000s. That’s a stellar record beginning in the Reagan administration when the likes of Ted Turner, Bobby Cox and Paul Snyder invested money, time, effort and people in out-developing almost every other team.

  • RICHARD CROKER BIOGRAPHY: Two of Richard's Great Grandfathers
    RICHARD CROKER BIOGRAPHY: Two of Richard’s great grandfathers fought for the Confederacy in the American Civil War. Samuel Freer Croker was wounded twice; once at Second Manassas (Brawner’s Farm) and later at Petersburg. After a stint in the army Richard returned to school (Georgia State University) to finish his bachelor’s degree and then went to work for Ted Turner’s fledgling “superstation.” He remained at Turner Broadcasting for 18 years, the bulk of which was spent writing, producing and directing for the sports division. He worked on Atlanta Braves Baseball, NBA Basketball, NFL Football, four PGA Championships, two Olympics and one Goodwill Games. He left Turner to become an independent documentary filmmaker and his credits have appeared on Superstation TBS, TLC and The Discovery Digital Networks. Richard lives in Marietta, Georgia with Terry, his wife of more years than she will allow him to tell. Their daughter, Amanda, is a media consultant in Atlanta. ABOUT HIS BOOKS: “To Make Men Free” and “No Greater Courage” are what Richard calls “UN-fiction.” With apologies to Rhett and Scarlett, there are no fictional characters or events. His books are literary reenactments of the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg, depicting actual Americans doing nothing more or less than they really did. But both are about more than only the fighting. The History Channel included not Gettysburg, but Antietam in their series, “Ten Days that Unexpectedly Changed America,”(a program on which Richard appeared) not only because Antietam remains to this day the bloodiest single day in all American history, but because it was Antietam that gave President Lincoln the strategic and political wherewithal to announce The Emancipation Proclamation only five days later which set America on a final path to realizing its claim to be “the land of the free.” Visit his website at www.ToMakeMenFree.com .
