CNN Studio Tour

Have you ever wondered just how a 24-hour news network like CNN really operates? How do they get all their information so quickly? How do they produce it and broadcast it? You can find out the answers to these questions and more when you experience a CNN studio tour. You'll get a behind-the-scenes peek at just what goes into a continuous 24-hour news broadcast, as well as the news anchors, reporters and technical workers who make it all possible. You'll see a one-of-a-kind re-creation of CNN's main control room, where all the technical magic happens.

 You can also see an interactive exhibit area where you can view video clips of the top 100 news stories that CNN has covered during the past 20 years, log on to CNN.com, test your knowledge with the Journalism Ethics display, and trace the growth of CNN as it parallels world events. The studio tour also features a number of behind-the-scenes demonstrations, like how images--like weather maps--appear behind our anchors and correspondents. At the end of this amazing tour, you can put all you learned to work at the Interactive Area inside the Turner Store. Here you can make a video of yourself reading the day's top news stories or have your picture taken with a variety of Turner personalities on the Studio Chromakey. Don't miss this opportunity to get an insider's view of one of the world's top news reporting agencies!
