Abstract

This paper discusses the development of CNN NEWSROOM on the Internet, a new multimedia news magazine based on CNN NEWSROOM, an educational news program produced by Turner Broadcasting and distributed by cable television operators nationwide. The multimedia program is assembled automatically on a daily basis as a digital video news magazine distributed via the Internet. High quality 1.5 Mbit/second MPEG-I video is used in the program, giving the video clips VHS level quality. Potential advantages of Internet NEWSROOM are outlined, and innovative plans for its network deployment are discussed.
