CNN is trying to get newspapers interested in a new CNN Wire that it says will “provide stories of interest to your newspaper and online readers,” Editor & Publisher reports. At this point, CNN says it is talking to a variety of newspapers and newspaper groups about the project, which could compete with the Associated Press, now under fire from members who don’t want to pay its high rates. Editors are being invited to the three-day event in Atlanta at CNN’s expense, E&P says.
