CNN founder Ted Turner dies at 87

Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, has died at the age of 87.

In 1980, he revolutionized the news industry by founding CNN, the world's first 24-hour news channel, forever changing the way the public is informed.

Beyond his success with CNN, Turner built a vast media empire through the Turner Broadcasting System and later played a significant role in the merger with Time Warner, consolidating his influence in the global media industry.

He was also known for his commitment to philanthropy. Turner donated $1 billion to the United Nations, becoming one of the organization's largest private contributors.

In addition to media and philanthropy, he had a great passion for sports. Turner was the owner of the Atlanta Braves team, which he helped turn into a well-known international brand.
