Collecting the News
A Digital Scrapbook of TV News
Thank you, Mr. Turner
For years journalism has been referred to as the first rough draft of history. If that is true, it follows that images on television news can be considered the instant, first rough draft of history. This website has been created to celebrate that history. The memorabilia, highlighted on the following pages, has been collected to commemorate various important news events that played out on television screens around the world. Today those stories have migrated to computer screens, smart phones and a plethora of other digital platforms. This site is also offered as a tribute to Ted Turner, the visionary who is responsible for 24-hour television news.
Museum Collection
Although my collection includes objects acquired outside of work, my main focus has been the items obtained during the time covering news events with CNN. Beginning in 1980 and continuing until my final paycheck in 2020, it features four decades of historical items. I have organized the memorabilia into the following categories: War Coverage, Politics, Natural Disasters, Breaking News, Sports, General News and Human Interest. (Selecting a tab in the navigation bar will reveal numerous sub-categories with items and the histories behind them.)
Collecting the News has helped create exhibits in museums and other establishments around the world.
