CNN’s first chief news anchor dies at the age of 82

Bernard Shaw, the venerable TV news anchor who helped turn CNN into a powerhouse, has died. He was 82.

Shaw died Wednesday from pneumonia not related to COVID-19, his family said.

Based in Washington D.C. when CNN launched, Shaw, known as Bernie to friends and colleagues, was the cable news channel’s lead anchor for two decades until his retirement in 2001.

During his tenure, Shaw anchored major breaking news events, like the attempted assassination of President Reagan in 1981, the Tiananmen Square student revolt in 1988 and every presidential election.

Arrival of new iPhone sparks slew of new offers from U.S. Phone Companies

Ever since Apple announced the iPhone 14, U.S. based phone companies have been flooding the market with special deals and offers to try and get you to switch over to them.  If you're in the market for a new phone and provider, now is the time to do so.

Bloomberg News has done some of the work for you below:

Here are the offers:

• AT&T said new and existing customers can get a free iPhone 14 Pro. The company is also offering customers who trade in old phones as much as $1,000 toward other new iPhones. The deal requires the customer to sign on to a select unlimited plan. AT&T is also cutting in half the price for the older iPhone 12 mini.

• T-Mobile is giving away a free iPhone 14 Pro to new and existing customers with an eligible trade-in and the selection of its top tier Magenta Max unlimited plan. The company is also offering a twofer: buy one iPhone 14 and get a second one free, if the customer is adding a new line.

• Verizon, in an exclusive deal with Apple, is introducing the One Unlimited for iPhone plan. It includes the Apple One bundle (Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade video games and iCloud storage) starting at $90 a month. This offer is similar to, yet separate from, one that includes a bundle of Walt Disney Co.’s streaming TV services.
