Ted Turner, who died on May 6 at the age of 87, was one of those rare figures who do not merely participate in history but bend its arc. When he launched CNN in 1980, he did not simply start a television channel — he proposed a new relationship between the world and its own unfolding events, one built on immediacy, continuity, and the radical idea that news need not wait. His passing closes a chapter in the long story of how human beings come to know what is happening to one another.
