The book is full of anecdotes about the founding the world’s first 24-hour news network with media mogul Ted Turner in 1979. A longtime TV and print journalist, Schonfeld was president for three years until he was fired by Turner after a clash of egos and largely forgotten within CNN’s institutional memory. Schonfeld maintains that as it hit the airwaves on June 1, 1980, CNN was largely his creation: he devised its revolutionary “fluid news” style and assembled the initial staff. With only a shoestring budget, Schonfeld used creative methods to scoop the competition.
