Inside the News

Atlanta, Georgia is home to Turner Broadcasting Inc. and the CNN headquarters. CNN is one of the most trusted news organisations in America and the world. For holiday travellers with an interest in journalism, news reporting and television production, the tour is informative, interactive and engaging.

Those who fly to Atlanta from London Heathrow for holiday can purchase e-tickets at home if desired. The CNN Tour is also part of the Atlanta CityPASS, which offers 50% discounts to five area attractions.

The escalator in the CNN building is the largest free-standing one in the world and the tour begins with an ascent to a small theatre where a live production is underway. Then a tour guide takes visitors into the room with the “green screen” technology for meteorologists and an audience member takes part in delivering a mock weather segment in front of the screen. From there, the tour moves into the actual newsrooms of CNN.

CNN does separate tour visitors from the newsroom with reinforced plate-glass windows. However, there is still some interaction between some of the well-known anchors and the viewing public on tour. The tour includes watching a full-episode interview between the anchor and the guest and seeing the hard work and diligence of the news crew as they race from research to on-air reporting.

There is a separate tour for children, but kids are not excluded from the main tour. This is a definite destination for anyone interested in news collection and reporting.
