“We’re Moving In The Right Direction,” Wolf Blitzer Believes

Highlights of Verne Gay’s CNN25 story:

> “I’m pretty optimistic that on the 25th anniversary, we’re moving in the right direction,” Wolf Blitzer says.

> Jim Walton admits: “Some of [CNN's] problems the company brought on itself with various management changes, and some of it was brought on by very loud competitors who were trying – and some would say they were successful in some areas – to define CNN.”

> “Without its extraordinary leader” Ted Turner, “CNN instantly lost a sense of style, adventure and elan. Now the future belongs to Walton, steady, measured and calm, or the mirror opposite of Turner.”
