Susan Grant

EVP, CNN News Services
Turner Broadcasting System

Turner’s Grant is jazzed when the cable industry can use technology to create new and meaningful ways to ignite consumer passions. She offers CNN iReport, created and developed at CNN and Turner, as an example: “The global, citizen journalism/ UGC platform is five years old, and we have iReporters in every country, it has its own Android app and is essential to all of CNN’s TV and digital networks,” she says. Grant adds that being part of a new development “that busts a conventional business norm always spurs more creativity and collaboration.”
