CNN's presence is felt in every part of the world, its brand name synonymous with news from everywhere, all the time. The same energy, boldness, and responsiveness to market opportunities that defined CNN's early years makes it today's company to watch and learn from in the business of international news. CNN: Making News in the Global Market chronicles how founder Ted Turner transformed his Atlanta-based company into a credible international news service in spite of his activist social agenda that challenged well-established journalistic traditions. Furthermore, his company's aggressive strategy of covering news whenever and wherever it happens, of breaking the news first, of going live from the scene, has frequently put the company in the uncomfortable position of shaping the events it relentlessly covers. This book uses first-hand accounts from many insiders, incorporating interviews with Ted Turner and company managers, with those who gather, produce, market and globally distribute the news, and with those who have signed on as CNN partners. The result is a revealing look at how an American company took shape around a strong leader, how it built and projected a world-class identity, and now prepares for stiff international competition.

CNN's Cold War Documentary: Issues And Controversy is based on the international television news operation's twenty-four part series on the history of the Cold War that generated passionate discussion among scholars and media specialists. This compilation of articles, commentaries, and reviews fairly presents all sides of the debate. The contributors are as impressive and diverse as their essays. This collection of informative and challenging essays is an enduring, welcome contribution to the annals of television journalism and Cold War histories.

This book makes the case that the Tailwind story of the US using sarin gas against US POWs was possible, because so many wanted the story to be true, facts notwithstanding. This included reputable TV reporters, editors and producers, none of whom could see the red flag being waved in their faces. The myth was exposed with finality when CNN retracted the story and fired April Oliver, putting Peter Arnett on the back, back burner. I was hired indirectly to check out the allegations, and came back with evidence that the story couldn't possibly be true. What Lembcke provides is the cultural atmospherics that make some people believe anything that supports their predispositions. Most alert people already know this, but rarely do we see such outrageous claims go unchallenged by pros.
