“You think CNN lacks focus – what is focus, anyway?! If you’re alive, all the time, how can you have focus? Focus is something a newspaper has, because there is a day to think about it. Or with a magazine there’s a month. Whoever said that was a yo-yo!” (Ted Turner)
![Page 40: Lecture 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55587484d8b42a8d018b523d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
“CNN’s executive VP for news gathering arrives at CNN center in Atlanta at about 6.00am, checks domestic and international news desks to see what’s happened over the night. From then his work is mostly 50 to 75 phone onversations and quick, stand-up meetings. He doesn’t attend committee meetings. There are no committees to have meetings! It never takes more than 3-4 folks, all located within a few yards of each other, to make any one decision, with no fuss, on the spot and often on the run. Chairs, it seems, are also for yo-yos!” (Peters, T. 1992 Liberation Management,p.33-34)
