At 25, CNN Unmatched in Covering Breaking News
Source: Arizona Republic Yep, here's yet another article about CNN as it celebrates it's 25th birthday. Bill Goodykoontz wraps up the article this way:
What will the next 25 years hold? For all its off-hours weirdness (women reading blogs on the air, say), CNN is still unmatched when it comes to covering breaking news on television. Yet Crossfire is still on the air.Here's a suggestion for the next quarter-century, one that will be impossible to follow because TV - even (maybe especially) TV news - is driven by ratings: Pretend Fox News doesn't exist. Stick with what you're good at, which is covering the news. Real news.The media world changed that night in Baghdad. For the next 25 years, concentrate on what changed for the better.
