As CNN, the internationally known network, turns 50 comes the wild, unauthorized story of its birth and the creation of the 24-hour news cycle. Lisa Napoli’s Up All Night: Ted Turner, CNN, and the Birth of 24-Hour News is an entertaining and important look at the founding of the upstart network that set out to change the way news was delivered and consumed. An indispensable tool to understand cable news today, that Kirkus Reviews calls a “page-turning hybrid of biography, media analysis, and business history.”

Lisa Napoli began her career as an intern at CNN’s New York bureau in the summer of 1981. Since then, she’s been a reporter in every medium at, among other places, the New York Times, Marketplace, MSNBC, and KCRW. She is the author of two previous books, Radio Shangri-La and Ray & Joan.

Merrill Brown, a journalist, educator, executive and consultant, is the founder and CEO of The News Project Inc., which provides technology and services for small- to medium-sized news organizations. He was founding editor-in-chief of MSNBC.com, a former reporter and executive at The Washington Post, and founding director of the School of Communication and Media at Montclair State University.
