Introduction

CNN Center, in downtown Atlanta, is the headquarters and broadcast hub of the world's first 24-hour news channel. Visitors can join the behind-the-scenes Studio Tour, riding one of the tallest free-fall glass elevators down to the control levels to glimpse live newsrooms, studios and control rooms. The atrium's Olympic cauldron marked the 1996 Atlanta Games. For media buffs and the curious, it is a vivid look at 'how the news is made', and pairs with nearby World of Coca-Cola and the aquarium.
