Founded in 1980 by American journalist Ted Turner and Reese Schonfeld, CNN (Cable News Network) was created to provide 24-hour news coverage, a novel idea at the time. The founders aimed to deliver news continuously, allowing viewers to stay informed at any hour of the day. Today, CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., and has grown into one of the most recognized news organizations in the world. CNN covers a wide range of topics, including politics, business, technology, health, entertainment, and sports. The network features live broadcasts, articles, and video content that keep audiences updated on current events both in the United States and globally. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, CNN has correspondents and bureaus around the world, making it a significant player in international news coverage. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of CNN is that it was the first television channel to provide 24-hour news coverage, revolutionizing the way news is consumed. This innovative approach not only changed the landscape of journalism but also set the standard for many news networks that followed.
CNN is ranked 13 among other media sources and has an average of 576,000,000 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
