From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CNN NewsStand
is a project to create
CNN
programming associated with publications owned by
Time Warner
, shortly after CNN owner
Turner Broadcasting System
had been bought by Time Warner. The second "S" in "NewsStand" was not capitalized consistently even within Time Warner. In its original concept,
NewsStand
would feature an in-depth program each weeknight, assuming a report was available, branded as combining CNN with a Time Warner magazine.
The CNN Newsstand name has been used since 2008 for airport retail stores run by
Hudson Group
.

CNN & Time
[
edit
]
The first and best-known NewsStand combination was titled
CNN & Time
, or sometimes
NewsStand: CNN & Time
. It was heavily promoted in advance as a joint project between
CNN
and
Time
magazine
and the first major example of "
synergy
" in the
Time-Warner
merger.
The
NewsStand
series' debut episode, broadcast on 1998-06-07, was a
CNN & Time
presentation,
"Valley of Death"
, a highly controversial report that accused the United States military of using
sarin
gas in
Operation Tailwind
during the
Vietnam War
. After almost a month of further investigations, CNN declared that it has insufficient evidence to run the story, and both CNN and
Time
were forced to retract the story in full on 1998-07-02. CNN's retraction further stated that "CNN alone bears responsibility for both the television reports and for the printed article in the June 15 issue of Time magazine."

The series continued for a few years under various names, such as
CNN Impact
, trying to shake its reputation from the first episode.
Other NewsStands
[

CNN briefly ran other types of NewsStand programs, including
CNN &
Fortune
and
CNN &
Entertainment Weekly
. Another example of
CNN
-
Time Warner
synergy was
People in the News
, a TV show billed as being with
People
magazine
.
