TEACHER-GUIDED TOUR
TEACHER-GUIDED TOUR MIDDLE SCHOOL part 1 / grades pre-visit teacher guided tour KEYS TO LEARNING Some elements of the teacher tour are again addressed in the pre/post lesson plan activities. ENTRANCE TO CNN CENTER ON CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK DRIVE As students get off of the bus, they will notice the large CNN letters (the network’s logo) located in front of the building. INFORMATION/STUDENT QUESTIONS The CNN Center was previously the Omni International Complex, which included a hotel, an indoor ice-skating rink, and an area for shops and restaurants. Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, purchased the building in 1986 to house his growing cable television company. A. Take a look at the large red letters in front of you. The letters are about 12 feet tall. About how many meters tall are the letters? (About 3 ½ meters, actual height is 3.6 meters) B. Knowing how tall the letters are, now what do you estimate the length to be in feet? (About 25 feet. Actual length is 24 feet, 10 inches) C. About how many meters would that be? (About 7 ½ meters, actual length is 7.6 meters) Ask your students to take another look at the CNN logo at the front of the building • What colors are used in the logo? Primarily red and white • Why do you think color is important in advertising? It gets people’s attention; it helps them remember the product. PAGE 1.1 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network.

CNN CENTER ATRIUM GLOBE & FLAGS part 1 / grades pre-visit teacher guided tour KEYS TO LEARNING As you enter the atrium on the main floor, your students will notice a number of shops and restaurants, a Humvee and flags arranged around the area above their heads. A. Ask students to look around above their heads at the many flags hanging around the outer edge of the atrium. These are flags belonging to countries who are part of the United Nations. They are located in CNN Center because the founder of CNN, Ted Turner, had a close association with the United Nations. In fact, in 1997 Ted Turner pledged he would give one billion dollars to the United Nations. He created the United Nations Foundation in 1998 to oversee the pledge. B. Bring your students’ attention to the map located on the floor of the lobby. You can orient yourself by noting that Australia is just in front of the Humvee vehicle. Ask students to name the seven continents. The map represents the fact that CNN is a worldwide company. PAGE 1.2 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. CNN CENTER ATRIUM HUMVEE KEYS TO LEARNING part 1 / grades pre-visit teacher guided tour C. Ask students to gather at the Humvee located in the lobby. This Humvee is one of two that was used by CNN reporters and cameramen when they were imbedded with our soldiers during the war in Iraq. Ask students to watch the video for a few minutes. The video is presented in three ten-minute segments and is primarily about the second CNN Humvee that was sold at auction to benefit the Fisher House. The Fisher House is an organization that helps injured veterans. Tell students that you are going to ask them questions about the Humvee after they have seen the video: 1. Why is this vehicle in the lobby? (It was used by CNN reporters and cameramen in Iraq.) 2. Tell what you learned about Warrior One. (Answers will vary depending on how much of the video has been seen.) 3. What is the Fisher House? (An organization that helps wounded veterans) 4. Did you notice any persuasive techniques used in this media presentation? (Yes, the Fisher House is shown in a positive light.) 5. How do you think the people who produced this video impacted the tone and mood of this presentation? (Answers will vary.) 6. What do you think it takes to be a CNN reporter or cameraman? (Education, dedication, courage) 7. What kind of education do you think is necessary to do these types of jobs? (A college education) PAGE 1.3 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. WORKING FOR CNN part 1 / grades pre-visit teacher guided tour KEYS TO LEARNING C. At the present time, about five hundred applications are received for each tour guide position. A college degree is required. This degree can be in any field. However, among the most common include degrees in Journalism, Communication, Public Relations or Marketing. Another entry-level position is the Video Journalist (VJ). Again, a college education is required. There are about 1000 applications for each VJ job opening. Ten to fifteen of these candidates are actually selected for consideration. The top five or so are referred for an interview. Entry-level positions such as these can lead to many interesting openings within the company. One former tour guide is now a bureau chief in Dubai; another is an executive producer at HLN. One former VJ is now the President of CNN Worldwide; another is a director at CNN.com. 1. What qualities do you think CNN is looking for in its entry level employees? (People who are intelligent, willing to work hard, arrive on time, have a positive attitude, exhibit good character, work well in a team, are well-prepared, etc.) 2. Why do you think people would choose to work at a big company like Turner Broadcasting, Inc. (parent company of CNN)? (People work to make social contacts, earn money, expand their knowledge, and for their own enjoyment. Many companies offer people these opportunities.) PAGE 1.4 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. CNN CENTER ATRIUM BUSINESSES KEYS TO LEARNING part 1 / grades pre-visit teacher guided tour D. Ask students to note some of the businesses located in the lobby. Tell students that some of them, such as Chick-Fil-A, have something in common with CNN. They are companies that began right here in Georgia. Ask students to take a quick look around at the businesses they see. Ask the following questions: 1. 2. 3. What kind of economy do you see in progress as you look around the lobby? (Market economy.) How is a market economy different from a command economy? (A market economy relies on market forces to tell what product to make, who to make it for and what to charge for that product.) What would be different if this were a command economy? (The government would set supply and price of goods) PAGE 1.5 4. CNN is part of our market economy and has something to sell as well. What is it that CNN is selling? (CNN sells its news network to cable companies who charge subscribers a fee to be able to access the CNN network.) How else does CNN make money during the news broadcast? (The company makes money by selling advertising time.) 5. What other types of products have been sold in Georgia in different historical periods? (Colonial period candles; Civil War - horses, etc.) 6. How do people in other countries, like Latin America and Canada, benefit from CNN’s business? (People in other countries see the news for important information, the advertisers get customers, and customers get information about products they may want.) TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. CNN CENTER ATRIUM BUSINESSES ( con’t) part 1 / grades pre-visit teacher guided tour KEYS TO LEARNING 7. How does this specialization encourage trade between countries? (CNN has the resources in place to produce and broadcast the news and so can do that more cheaply and effectively than a country that doesn’t yet have a system in place to do that. Those countries are encouraged to trade for that service from CNN because it would be less costly to pay for it than to build the system to do it themselves. In addition, CNN’s viewers in many countries can see goods and services in use in other cultures, in the programs as well as in advertising – possibly resulting in the demand for some of those goods and services . This demand encourages trade.) 8. Look around again at the businesses in the lobby. List examples of natural, human and capital goods that you see here. (Answers will vary.) PAGE 1.6 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK DRIVE ENTRY HALL TIMELINE part 1 / grades pre-visit teacher guided tour KEYS TO LEARNING Students will notice pictures and dates running sequentially on the wall that depict historic events covered by CNN since its inception. INFORMATION/STUDENT QUESTIONS A. Bring students’ attention to the timeline located on the wall across from the concierge desk. Worksheet #1 » is a replica of this timeline. • Ask students to notice how the timeline works. (It is set up chronologically (in the order of what happened first, second and so on) and follows events in the world that CNN has covered in over thirty years of reporting.) • Ask students to look over the timeline and find one event they have heard about. Explain that the pictures they see on the timeline are “frame grabs” which just means they are images taken directly from the broadcast. B. Ask students how covering worldwide events in real time has impacted people’s viewpoints about these events. (Answers will vary.) C. Ask students why an impartial point of view, while covering these events, is important. (Answers will vary.) PAGE 1.7 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company. All rights reserved.

POST TOUR DISCUSSION MIDDLE SCHOOL part 2 / grades post-visit teacher led discussion KEYS TO LEARNING Some elements of the teacher tour are again addressed in the pre/post lesson plan activities. Gather students at the tables in the CNN Center atrium or in any area where students can sit for a discussion. CNN BACKGROUND INFORMATION When he was only 24 years old, Ted Turner inherited his father’s billboard business, the Turner Advertising Company. Although his father had planned to sell the company, young Ted came up with a completely different plan. He wanted to make the business even bigger! He took a big chance borrowing and spending a lot of money to try to grow the little company, but in just 2 years it became the largest billboard business in the South. He soon began looking for other ways to expand his advertising business. He bought some radio stations, and when that was successful, he turned to television. Atlanta’s Channel 17 was a station that was so hard to get that very few people watched it, but Turner bought it and gave it the call letters WTCG. “TCG” represented the new name of his company, Turner Communications Group. He bought cheap older programs to run on the channel - so old that they were not even in color. To get companies to pay to advertise on WTCG, he not only offered commercial time PAGE 2.1 at a good price, he told them that although the programs would be in black and white, the commercials would be in color, which would grab people’s attention! Turner often joked that the station’s call letters stood for “Watch This Channel Grow!” In 1976, Turner purchased the Atlanta Braves and began broadcasting Braves games. The price he paid for the team was considered by many to be too high, but the addition of the Braves games caused viewership of his station to surge. A born entrepreneur who was not afraid to risk failure to achieve what he wanted, Turner was also able to recognize business potential that others did not. Cable and satellite communications systems had started being developed in the late 1940’s and 1950’s but were not yet widely used. In the 1970’s Ted Turner saw those technologies as being the wave of television’s future and he wanted to put them to use them for his business! TM and © 2011 Cable News Network.

POST TOUR DISCUSSION MIDDLE SCHOOL part 2 / grades post-visit teacher led discussion KEYS TO LEARNING CNN BACKGROUND (CON’T) In 1975, Turner purchased a terminal to link WTCG to a satellite. Channel 17 was beamed via satellite nationwide, becoming the first "Superstation," and in two short years gained access to three million additional households. Turner knew that people would watch if he provided programming that they wanted to see. He wanted to start a network that provided news programming all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so that news could be broadcast as it was happening. He bought an abandoned country club, turned it into a television studio and the Cable News Network (CNN) was launched in June of 1980. Many people thought the idea was crazy. Some even called it “Chicken Noodle News,” but soon CNN was able to cover some very important stories that other networks missed, gaining the respect of the news industry and increasing the numbers of viewers. When the company grew too big for its original building, Turner purchased another old building and turned it into CNN Center, where we are today. Over the years, CNN has added spin-off networks and other news-related services and today all CNN-branded networks and services combined are available to more than 1 billion people in 212 countries and territories. QUESTIONS A. What traits did Ted Turner have that made him a successful entrepreneur? (Willingness to try, even if it meant that he might fail, willingness to put his money and reputation at risk.) B. Why do entrepreneurs take so many risks? (They are hoping for a profit.) C. What role did engineering and technology play in the development of CNN? (Without computers, satellite technology and the internet, CNN could not deliver the news worldwide as it happens.) D Engineering and technology have impacted CNN’s ability to communicate with citizens throughout the world. How have these technologies impacted our social, cultural, political economic and environmental views? (Answers will vary.) PAGE 2.2 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company.

POST TOUR DISCUSSION MIDDLE SCHOOL part 2 / grades post-visit teacher led discussion KEYS TO LEARNING Of course the first jobs we usually think about at CNN are the reporters and on-air talent. Actually, the variety of jobs available at CNN cover a multitude of areas, but most do require a college degree. Below are a few of the areas of employment. Each area encompasses a number of job opportunities. EXAMPLES OF JOB AREAS AT CNN 1. In the CNN Newsroom. Knowledge of computers is an important skill at CNN. However, most jobs are very skill-specific. For example, of the assignment desks in the newsroom, some are national, and some are international. That means many of the people are looking at information from other countries and scanning it for news that might be important for CNN to broadcast. They must sift through thousands of stories to find perhaps five or ten that would be of interest. Knowledge of a variety of foreign languages is imperative in this position, as are computer skills. A CNN tour guide interested in a position at the International desk might “shadow” the assignment editor to learn more about the job. One former tour guide who did just that speaks four languages as well as English. 2. At CNN en Espanol. Working for CNN en Espanol requires knowledge of Spanish and often Portuguese. CNN en Espanol is CNN’s fastest growing network and now broadcasts to about 35,000,000 people. It was created for Latin American viewers, and is the only CNN Worldwide network dedicated to one demographic. Different national and international news stories are presented from a Hispanic perspective. Seventy percent of the broadcast comes from Atlanta and 30% is done in Mexico City and Buenos Aires, Argentina. A number of jobs, from news anchors to cameramen to directors, are required to keep the network up and running. PAGE 2.3 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. POST TOUR DISCUSSION MIDDLE SCHOOL part 2 / grades post-visit teacher led discussion KEYS TO LEARNING EXAMPLES OF JOB AREAS AT CNN (CON’T) 3. In broadcast technology and maintenance services areas. Maintenance of equipment needed at CNN employs many people. There are thousands of servers. Each department has its own server and each network has about 100 servers. There are 46 miles of cable in the main CNN newsroom, and 2600 feet of fiber optics. This doesn’t include the many computers, cameras and other types of equipment that are used by the company and require upkeep as well. 4. In program production. A number of people in various positions are needed to put a show together. These include: line producer, sound engineer, director, technical director, executive producer, etc. Traffic coordinators set the schedule for commercials. Researchers and writers work together to craft content. Editors assemble the pieces that have been shot for the program. It takes a multitude of people with various skills and abilities to put a show together. 5. In the legal department. Lawyers are employed in large companies to help them in all legal matters. They represent the company’s interest in trademarks, copyrights and licensing in the areas of content and branding. They review materials to protect the company from issues that might result from error. And they also deal with real estate contracts, human resources issues, sales contracts, business agreements and many other issues companies must deal with to conduct business legally, ethically and responsibly. They are civil lawyers, as opposed to criminal lawyers, who work with defending or prosecuting people accused of a crime. PAGE 2.4 TM and © 2011 Cable News Network. A Time Warner Company.
