April 7. 2017 NYTimes.com » When CNN debuted in 1980, its original mission was to "make the news the star," but by the late '9Os, this strategy was not enough to guarantee an audience now that Fox News, with its decidedly nonneutral take, was an option. CNN needed an identity. In this week's cover story, Jonathan Mahler tells the story of how President Trump solved that problem for the network, largely because of a strange symbiosis between him and CNN's president, Jeff Zucker, that dates back to their work together on reality TV. Last spring the two men ran into each other in a men's room. "You think any of this would have happened without `The Apprentice'?" Trump asked. Elsewhere in the magazine, Leslie Jamison writes about living in the shadow of a fairy tale when she became a stepmother. Robert F. Worth reports on the coming French election and the debate over extremism. And Carina Chocano writes about our uneasiness when others show their thirst — even politicians. Also, we say farewell to Rosie Schaap's Drink column with a collection of some of our favorites. Cheers! Happy reading, Jake Silverstein Editor in Chief EFTA00627844 We Zucker. Jeff Zucker.
