Synopsis
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., In 1980, Ted Turner and an oddball cast of visionaries, big-league discards, and risk-takers turned the basement of an abandoned country club in Atlanta into the future of news. Where TV news once meant dignified nightly broadcasts on three national networks, thanks to CNN, now it would be on 24 hours a day, "until the world ends," as Turner quipped. Lisa Napoli's Up All Night takes readers inside the founding of the upstart network that set out to change the world. At the time, Ted Turner's gambit was derided as folly. But he wasn't the kind of person who listened to doubters. This is a rollicking story, an essential chapter in media and business history that paved the way for the world we live in today.
