“Everybody has an iPhone; everyone can be a reporter now. Everybody can tell a story from every part of the world. Why places like CNN matter is that it is still important to bring them together, put context around it, and explain it.”

“The beauty of the Internet is that anybody can be a broadcaster now.”

“I think that there are three incredible brands in the news and information space. I think ESPN owns sports; I think the Weather Channel owns weather, and I want CNN to own news and information in the global digital video space.”

“When an authoritarian regime starts taking down feeds and blocking websites just because we expose the truth... that's an attack on freedom of the press everywhere. When authoritarian regimes around the world start attacking journalists like that, we all have a problem.”

“I think you could argue that President Obama could have watched a little cable news... I do think that there is value in understanding where the conversation is and having a little less detachment where the popular conversation is.”

“Chaos is good for CNN.”

“I grew up watching CNN, and my memory of CNN is James Earl Jones saying, 'This is CNN.'”

“If I was on Twitter, I'd probably get in trouble pretty quickly.”

“It used to be CNN and other television outlets were founded on this idea of a news wheel. You give us 22 minutes, and we'll give you the world. But that's not the way people consume news and information any more.”

“The job of media is the accountability of government.”

“I watch a ton of CNN.”
