Short Description
Like the previous Speaks books (Warren Buffett Speaks, Jack Welch Speaks, Bill Gates Speaks, and Oprah Winfrey Speaks), Ted Turner Speaks chronicles the voice and vision of Ted Turner, multimillionaire media pioneer, creator of the Cable News Network, champion yachtsman, and founder of environmental and humanitarian organizations. The content of Ted Turner Speaks consists of pithy, original quotes culled from articles, newscasts, and interviews organized as an educational biography.
As the brainchild behind the Cable News Network, Ted Turner revolutionized the television industry by introducing a 24-hour news station. Dubbed "Terrible Ted" for his apparent disregard for the rules, he turned sharp business savvy into a global communications empire that has made him one of the wealthiest-and most powerful figures in the business. This unique biography, the latest in the bestselling Speaks series, presents the different shades of this colorful personality by bringing together original Turner quotes from newscasts, interviews, and articles.
