11:47Now PlayingMedia visionary Ted Turner introduced a radical new concept when he launched CNN back in 1980: The 24/7 TV news cycle. The impact on the media industry was immediate and profound. Audiences ate it up. Suddenly, 24/7 TV news was everywhere, giving news consumers a window into what was happening around the globe – politics, entertainment, even war- as it happened, changing how we see the world forever. Ted Turner passed away last week at the age of 87. His impact on cable TV and the news industry writ large will endure for generations to come. Michael Socolow, a media scholar and a professor of communication and journalism at the University of Maine, joins The Excerpt to share his insights.
