CNN coverage

Atlanta network reporting

CNN coverage refers to news reporting and broadcasting by CNN (Cable News Network), often invoked to characterize a particular style of 24-hour cable news presentation—heavy on graphics, breaking news banners, and panel discussions.

The phrase frequently appears in criticism suggesting sensationalism or repetitive analysis: The story got wall-to-wall CNN coverage for a week.

It can describe any media treatment resembling that format.
