How Ted Turner changed the media landscape
About this episode
The episode reflects on Ted Turner's impact on the media and discusses current events affecting aluminium prices and hotel bookings ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
We look back on the life of the CNN founder, Ted Turner, who has died. We hear from Brian Selter, CNN chief media analyst, and Lisa Napoli who was an intern in the network's early days. Also, conflict in the Middle East has driven aluminium prices to a four-year high. So how will this affect the price of cars and canned goods? And with six weeks to go before the FIFA World Cup, how US hotels are seeing fewer bookings than they expected.
