Zitat des Tages von Jeff Zucker:
I'd like to run a professional football team. I'd love to run the USTA, be the sports editor of the 'New York Times.'
Everybody has an iPhone; everyone can be a reporter now. Everybody can tell a story from every part of the world. Why places like CNN matter is that it is still important to bring them together, put context around it, and explain it.
More traffic means more advertising dollars.
I grew up watching CNN, and my memory of CNN is James Earl Jones saying, 'This is CNN.'
When people think about CNN today, they think about our television coverage, politics, and Donald Trump. And I get it; I'm not suggesting that's wrong. But I think there is a much bigger story going on at CNN.
It is a significant acknowledgment that the way people are watching television is changing and the model is quickly changing.
Chaos is good for CNN.
People are looking for original content in many different places, as are advertisers. This takes us into a whole new ballgame.
I've spent over half my life at NBC. This is the only place I have ever worked.
The critics of Donald Trump are looking for people to blame for his rise. There are many people who are either surprised by his strength or don't like him and want to blame someone to explain why he has been this popular.
I've always been interested in the news, but I've always been interested in what's popular. I've always had a little bit of a populist take on things. Which I know is interesting when you talk about Donald Trump.
I've said this forever - I've always believed the Today show is more than the sum of its parts.
CNN is not and never will abandon our first and fundamental brand equity, which is news and breaking news.
Michael Jackson is the ultimate traffic accident. People can't take their eyes off him.
Do not be intimidated. Go where the story goes. Report the facts. Make sure you've got it right. And don't let things that the president says or that the White House does throw you off your game.
I think you could argue that President Obama could have watched a little cable news... I do think that there is value in understanding where the conversation is and having a little less detachment where the popular conversation is.
In the cable news arena, you have two partisan networks looking out for their viewers. I think CNN needs to look out for the rest of us.
I think that there are three incredible brands in the news and information space. I think ESPN owns sports; I think the Weather Channel owns weather, and I want CNN to own news and information in the global digital video space.
When the Paris terror attacks happen, when war breaks out in Ukraine, when unrest happens in Ferguson, people know that CNN is the place to come.
I watch a ton of CNN.
If I was on Twitter, I'd probably get in trouble pretty quickly.
It used to be CNN and other television outlets were founded on this idea of a news wheel. You give us 22 minutes, and we'll give you the world. But that's not the way people consume news and information any more.
