Up All Night

The wild inside story of the birth of CNN and dawn of the age of 24-hour news
 
How did we get from an age of dignified nightly news broadcasts on three national networks to the age of 24-hour channels and constantly breaking news? The answer—thanks to Ted Turner and an oddball cast of cable television visionaries, big league rejects, and nonunion newbies—can be found in the basement of an abandoned country club in Atlanta. Because it was there, in the summer of 1980, that this motley crew somehow, against all odds, launched CNN.
 
Lisa Napoli’s Up All Night is an entertaining inside look at the founding of the upstart network that set out to change the way news was delivered and consumed. Mixing media history, a business adventure story, and great characters, Up All Night tells the story of a network that succeeded beyond even the wildest imaginings of its charismatic and uncontrollable founder, and paved the way for the world we live in today.

Povestea salbatica din interiorul nasterii CNN si inceputul varstei stirilor de 24 de ore Cum am ajuns de la o epoca de emisiuni de stiri demne pe trei retele nationale la epoca canalelor de 24 de ore si de stiri de ultima ora? Raspunsul - multumita lui Ted Turner si unei distributii ciudate de vizionari de televiziune prin cablu, respingeri din liga mare si incepatori neunionali - poate fi gasit in subsolul unui club de tara abandonat din Atlanta.
