CNN, or the Cable News Network, is a news-based American cable television station that is widely regarded as one of the most renowned and influential news organizations in the world. The network offers a diverse selection of content, including news, political analysis, and documentaries, and is accessible to viewers worldwide. CNN is one of the most popular and influential news organizations in the world, with a reputation for thorough coverage of breaking events, in-depth analysis of significant subjects, and a strong presence on the Internet and social media. CNN can preserve its position as a reliable source of news and information for global audiences by addressing the challenges it faces. We used Michael Porter’s Five Forces to conduct industry analysis and we conducted a thorough evaluation. We selected, justified and recommended alternatives strategies that are consistent with CNN mission, goals and objectives.
