Prefatory Remarks
This report includes three main sections:
I.
CNN International Television
II.
CNN Specialized Channels (which includes International Channels)
III.
CNN Online
This information was scattered everywhere across the net, and pulling it altogether was not easy.
Wikipedia, as always, was a great place to start to begin digging into this project. The main sources
for this report are:
1. Wikipedia,
2. www.CNN.com, which was really confusing in its structure—see part III of this report, and
3. Various Google results done to follow up information that was scant, such as the details of the
five variants of CNN International Television, presented in part I.

III.
CNN ONLINE
1. Sheila went to www.cnn.com to see how the website is structured in reporting domestic and
international news. CNN Online has three “editions”: US, Arabic, and INTERNATIONAL.
While WORLD appears as a choice, it is not considered by the website to be an “edition.”
2. To see choices of CNN Online “editions”, go to http://edition.cnn.com/ which is CNN.com
International Home page | go to upper right, “Edition” | Choose between U.S., Arabic, or
International which is found in “Set Pref.”
3. Still not sure what the difference between “World” and “International” are. CNN treats them
differently, though; this will become apparent as you move through this section.
4. Top Story Headlines are included to 1) give flavor to the emphasis/tone of the webpage and 2) for
me to keep straight which pages were duplicates … (duplicate content but different URL and
different ways to get to the page.)
