E-mail this story Oct. 22, 2004, 12:49PM Turner's doings and undoing Veteran media writer Ken Auletta traces CNN founder's ups, downs By TOMMY MILLER Houston Chronicle MEDIA MAN: Ted Turner's Improbable Empire. By Ken Auletta. Atlas Books/Norton, 205 pp. $22.95. In the beginning were ABC, NBC and CBS. Those three powerful networks in New York City ruled the airwaves as television developed as an information medium in the 1940s, '50s, '60s and into the '70s. Then along came Ted Turner, a modern-day media pioneer who changed the television landscape worldwide by developing a 24-hour station called Cable News Network, or CNN, and led the way in establishing cable broadcasting nationwide. In Media Man veteran media writer Ken Auletta sweeps through Turner's rise and fall in the bruising roller-derby world of corporate media ownership. For this book, Auletta said Turner "opened himself up to me" in almost 20 hours of one-on-one taped interviews.

In 1997 Mr Turner set up a $1bn UN foundation, the biggest private gift the UN had ever received. The foundation administers a $100m donation every year over 10 years. The donation was widely seen as a vote of confidence in the UN's future by one of the world's leading businessmen and opinion makers.

Newswatch Last Updated: Thursday, 27 January, 2005, 10:38 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Fox News 'propaganda' says mogul Ted Turner said media companies were not being critical enough CNN founder Ted Turner attacked US TV network Fox News on Tuesday, labelling it "propaganda" for its stance towards the Bush administration. Turner also likened the network's current popularity to Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1930s Germany. "Just because you're bigger doesn't mean you're right," Turner said in a speech to the National Association of Television Programming Executives. Fox News, owned by Rupert Murdoch, is currently leading CNN in TV ratings. Mr Turner also attacked "gigantic companies whose agenda goes beyond broadcasting" for not criticising the Bush administration enough. 'Problems' "There's one network, Fox, that's a propaganda voice for them," the 66-year-old media mogul said. "It's certainly legal. But it does pose problems for our democracy when the news is 'dumbed-down'." Fox News issued a statement, saying: "Ted is understandably bitter having lost his ratings, his network and now his mind - we wish him well."

"If I had to predict, the way things are going, I'd say the chances are about 50-50 that humanity will be extinct or nearly extinct within 50 years," Turner said. "Weapons of mass destruction, disease, I mean this global warming is scaring the living daylights out of me."

Turner spoke to editors from 10 regional states and admitted he may not be very good at making predictions.

In her spellbinding autobiography, "My Life So Far," Fonda reveals that she made the religious conversion without telling her husband of almost eight years. "I hadn't told Ted beforehand because by then I didn't feel we were on the same team," she writes. "Alongside the frantic life we shared, I was living a parallel inner life, where I took care of my own needs ... I also knew that if I had discussed with him my need for spirituality, he would have either asked me to choose between him and it or bullied me out of it." Fonda writes that her religious conversion coincided with the realization that Turner had never stopped cheating on her.

Figura destacada dentro del sector audiovisual, ha sido una de las personalidades más polémicas del mundo de los negocios en Estados Unidos durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Tras el suicidio de su padre, Turner tomó la dirección de la empresa familiar, y en 1970 compró una estación de televisión en Atlanta. En 1975 fue uno de los primeros en emitir vía satélite. Durante la década de 1980 fundó dos exitosas cadenas de televisión por cable: la CNN, pionera en la emisión de noticias las veinticuatro horas del día, y que alcanzó un gran éxito de espectadores, y la TNT, dedicada sobre todo al cine clásico. Tras endeudarse en exceso en la compra de los estudios MGM/UA, en 1996 vendió su empresa al gigante Time Warner. Inicio Buscador Recomendar sitio

Full Image ATLANTA (AP) - CNN should cover international news and the environment, not the "pervert of the day," network founder Ted Turner said Wednesday as the first 24-hour news network turned 25. Turner, an outspoken media mogul who started CNN in 1980 but no longer controls the network, said he envisioned CNN as a place where rapes and murders that dominated local news wouldn't be emphasized, but he's seeing too much of that "trivial news" on the network he created, now second in ratings to Fox News Channel. "I would like to see us to return to a little more international coverage on the domestic feed and a little more environmental coverage, and, maybe, maybe a little less of the pervert of the day," he said in a speech to CNN employees outside the old Atlanta mansion where the network first aired. "You know, we have a lot of perverts on today, and I know that, but is that really news? I mean, come on. I guess you've got to cover Michael Jackson, but not three stories about perversion that we do every day as well."

The announcement came just shortly after the company reported a net loss of $98.7 billion for 2002. Those results included a $45.5 billion fourth-quarter charge related primarily to depreciation in the value of its America Online unit, as well as a first-quarter charge of $54 billion in accordance with accounting rules changes that took effect last year. Revenue for the fourth quarter increased 8 percent, to $11.4 billion, from the same period last year, compared with Wall Street estimates of $11.2 billion, according to a consensus of analysts polled by First Call Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBIDTA) for the quarter rose 16 percent, to $2.8 billion, on the strength of double-digit growth at all of the company's divisions, except for AOL, where EBITDA declined.

More Inside Cover Stories 'Commie Dictator' Castro Inspired CNN, Ted Turner Admits Jim Burns, CNSNews.com Friday, Nov. 30, 2001 Ted Turner, founder of Cable News Network, said it was Cuban "commie dictator" Fidel Castro who inspired him to broadcast CNN into other countries around the world. Castro invited Turner to visit Cuba in 1982 after a CNN news team visited the communist nation. "We spent all night drinking and smoking cigars," Turner told a convention of cable television operators meeting in Los Angeles on Wednesday. "He told me CNN was invaluable to him. And I thought, if Fidel Castro can't live without it, we ought to be able to sell CNN all over the world. So the idea came from a commie dictator," said Turner. After his 1982 meeting with Castro, Turner commented: "Fidel ain't a communist. He's a dictator just like me." Castro returned the compliment, saying several times that he received news of the Soviet Union faster from CNN than he did from the Soviet government. The Cuban-American National Foundation, no friend of the Castro government, said Castro uses CNN as a "propaganda tool." According to CANF, most ordinary Cubans don't ever see the network.

Although they are barely 4,500 hectares, the spot it is set is not contemptible at all. It is one of the privileged accesses to the Traful river, an unbeatable place for the fishing of trouts and salmonidae in general, situated 60 kilometers to the north of Bariloche. Since he bought this first property, Ted Turner founded a private enterprise in the USA called La Primavera Argentina (The Argentine Spring).
