Item Special Note

Anderson Cooper is the anchor of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360°, a nightly newscast that goes beyond the headlines – keeping politicians and policy makers honest and in-depth reporting representing all points of view. Cooper has covered nearly all major news events around the world, often reporting from the scene. Most recently, he covered the uprisings in the Middle East, the aftermath of both earthquakes in Japan and Haiti, as well as from the gulf following the BP oil spill.

Cooper, who has covered numerous stories about bullying, teamed up for a multi-platform initiative with Cartoon Network and Time Inc., again this year and moderated a second town hall aimed to take a stand to help stop the alarming bullying crisis. He has also played a pivotal role in CNN’s political coverage and has anchored from conventions and moderated several presidential debates.

In addition to Anderson Cooper 360°, Cooper is the host and executive producer of Anderson, the nationally syndicated, daily one-hour daytime talk show. Cooper also provides reports for CBS’s 60 Minutes. Dispatches from the Edge, Cooper’s memoirs about covering the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and other news events, topped the New York Times Bestsellers List and other bestseller charts.

Cooper and Anderson Cooper 360° have won several major journalism awards, including multiple Emmy awards. He has also earned a National Headliners Award for his tsunami coverage, an Emmy Award for his contribution to ABC's coverage of Princess Diana's funeral; a Silver Plaque from the Chicago International Film Festival for his report from Sarajevo on the Bosnian civil war; a Bronze Telly for his coverage of famine in Somalia; a Bronze Award from the National Educational Film and Video Festival for a report on political Islam; and a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Journalism for his 20/20 Downtown report on high school athlete Corey Johnson. 

Cooper is the son of the writer Wyatt Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt.
