CNN ViewerSource works with businesses and nonprofit organizations to grant program dissemination or public display rights and transcript reprint permission. Other requests for viewing copies and transcripts are handled by one of several broadcast monitoring services. The video availability, price, turnaround time and ease of ordering differ from service to service. If you have any questions, CNN ViewerSource can help and, if necessary, provide video directly.

CNN ImageSource
CNN's extensive video collection of news, entertainment and lifestyle images is available for filmmakers, advertising agents, corporations, desktop publishers, charitable groups, educators and other news agencies and entertainment companies. CNN ImageSource features self-service online research and ordering as well as the assistance of researchers and licensing agents trained to address rights and clearances issues. Same-day turnaround is common because there's an option to skip the screening step. We'll send edit masters without an obligation for licensing fees if the images aren't used. More than 30,000 items are cataloged in the online database in categories such as the economy, geography and disasters. CNN ImageSource also represents the collection of more than 340 local news stations.

Do you provide transcripts of CNN programming on your Web site?
CNN does provide limited transcripts of programming, at transcripts page. You can access these transcripts for two weeks by clicking on the airdate. Older transcripts are archived by show. Not all of CNN's programming will be posted to the Web site, but most can be ordered in video format. Transcripts of CNN Headline News are not available on CNN.com.

If I see a story on a CNN network, will it be posted to the Web site?
CNN.com must limit publication of articles to those with the most national and international interest. Although many stories are original, due to the combined newsgathering aspects of CNN (The Associated Press , Reuters , more than 800 local affiliates and many others), we cannot post every story that we report.

Where can I learn more about CNN's anchors and reporters?

Can I take a tour of CNN?
Yes. A guided tour at CNN headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, offers a behind-the-scene look at the history of the CNN group networks, coverage of events that shape the world and state-of-the-art studios that reach more than 1 billion people.
