NPC Virtual Book Event: Lisa Napoli, "Up All Night: Ted Turner, CNN, and the Birth of 24-Hour News"

How did a former billboard salesman, baseball team owner and America’s Cup winner who hated news end up as the father of 24-hour news?

Journalist Lisa Napoli, author of "Up All Night: Ted Turner, CNN and the Birth of 24-Hour News," will describe how Ted Turner flipped the switch on media with the creation in 1980 of the first 24-hour news channel at a virtual Headliners Book Event at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 22.

This one-hour program will stream live on the Club’s website and YouTube Channel, and is accessible to both the media and members of the general public free-of-charge. Viewers can send their questions for Napoli in advance or during the live program via email to [email protected].
