Описание: Ted Turner. BIOGRAPHY.

Ted Turner is an American media mogul, philanthropist, and environmental activist, best known for founding CNN, the world’s first 24-hour news network. Born on November 19, 1938, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Turner grew up in a wealthy family and attended Brown University, where he studied economics. After a series of early career challenges, Turner took over his father's advertising company, Turner Communications, in 1963, which later expanded into a media empire.

In 1980, Turner revolutionized the media landscape by launching CNN (Cable News Network), which changed the way news was consumed globally by offering continuous, live coverage of events. CNN became a household name, and Turner’s innovation helped establish him as a dominant force in the media industry. Turner later expanded his media holdings, acquiring Turner Broadcasting System, which included networks like TNT, TBS, and Cartoon Network. His bold ventures made him a pioneer in cable television.

In addition to his media achievements, Turner is known for his significant philanthropic efforts. He is one of the largest private landowners in the United States, and through his Turner Foundation, he has donated billions of dollars to environmental conservation, climate change awareness, and other causes. He is also a prominent advocate for nuclear disarmament and human rights.

Turner’s personal life has been highly publicized. He was married three times, including to actress Jane Fonda, and has five children. Throughout his career, Turner’s bold business moves and philanthropic efforts earned him both admiration and controversy, but his lasting legacy is that of a transformative figure in both media and philanthropy.
