1997 Liberty
Medal Recipient
"For the first time in history, a
majority of the world’s citizens live in nations that are electoral
democracies. In order to thrive and expand, liberty and democracy need accurate
and fair sources of knowledge and information. CNN
International, the first global 24-hour news network, is such a source and
helps foster informed leaders and electorates. The network and its founder, Ted Turner, have set standards which amplify democratic
liberties."
Liberty Medal International Selection Commission
"My idea was, we’re just going to
give people the facts…We didn’t have to show liberty and democracy as good, and
show socialism or totalitarianism as bad. If we just showed them both the way
they were…clearly everybody’s going to choose liberty and democracy."
