MICHAEL HESSING, ASST. DIRECTOR, CREATIVE SERVICES: CNN is a challenge, there's no in between. If there is a news story that's breaking, and you have to get it out to the world or to the country, you have got no time to think about whether or not you can do it, you just have to do it. You jump right in and you work the story, and you get the information in, and you get it on the air.</s>STEVE DONAHUE, VICE PRESIDENT, CNN NEWSOURCE: Being here the night of the Persian Gulf War, I think was a tremendous thing that you would never forget. This place was abuzz for many days, and you know, it was rewarding to see all the stations across the country dropping out of their network newscasts and going to CNN because CNN had the pictures, CNN had the story. And I think that is all part of Ted's vision, the global vision we had with the CNN network.</s>LARRY REGISTER, VICE PRESIDENT, SPECIAL PROJECTS: With CNN you get to live it, and you get to here from your colleagues, and you get to hear from the people who are covering and living the story. We don't just go there and cover it, we live it, because we are in the conditions that the people are in most of the time. We live the stories and then we tell the stories that we live.</s>HESSING: The future of CNN is going forward. Our future is to continue covering the world. We are already doing it, we are doing it better than anyone else.</s>TED TURNER, FOUNDER, CNN: I would like to see us have even more bureaus that we have today. I hope that the quality of our service will continue to improve and that we will be of increasing benefit to humanity
