CNN

The Cable News Network, CNN, is an American news company, which gives news to people all around the world. They also retrieves news from the whole world, which says that they need to have a lot of reporters, who catch up the information. Together, ca. 900 reporters stay in different parts of the world. Maybe this is the reason why the company has become so large. When they get information and news from several countries, more people will like to watch their news.

Ted Turner founded the company in 1980, and it was the first tv-channel to give the people 24 hours news coverage, and the first news channel in the USA, which gave the people news about everything. Later the channel has evolved more and more.
