Definition

  • CNN, the Cable News Network, debuted on June 1, 1980 at 6:00 A.M. CNN has since grown to have an enormous impact on the way Americans receive and expect their news. But it has also had an effect on the international incidents that it covers, providing leaders with opportunities to connect directly with other policy makers and constituents in moments of crisis and war.
