It might be difficult to remember now, but there was a time when the news wasn\\u2019t 24/7. There were morning and evening editions of the paper; the nightly news was, well, nightly; radio offered updates from time to time. But there\\u2019s a whole lot of difference between that world and today\\u2019s never-stop cavalcade of heartbreak, tragedy, excitement, and despair.

And one of the biggest dividing lines between those two realities was the creation of CNN. Journalist Lisa Napoli is the author of \\u201cUp All Night: Ted Turner, CNN, and the Birth of 24-Hour News,\\u201d and she argues that CNN didn\\u2019t just change television, or cable, or even news\\u2026 it changed our entire world.
