- Summary
- "CNN began a revolution in television with the advent of its 24-hour cable news channel out of Atlanta in 1980, challenging the three major television networks headquartered in New York that shaped the perception of current events by Americans. This revolution took the world by storm during the next decade as satellite and cable television provided an alternative, if not the only source of information for people throughout the world." "Sidney Pike's story is the most thorough chronicle that exists. As he met with media and government leaders around the world, trying to sell CNN programming, he faced both the forces that stimulated the changes and those that offered resistance to them. Sidney Pike was a pioneer and evangelist for the global television channels and the news services that are taken for granted today. This should be read by all students of telecommunication and by anyone interested in the role the media played in globalization and democratization."--BOOK JACKET.
