Rob, BIA, iReports and some Bday news

Back in June Book Asylum posted a snippet of the interview that Rob Marciano did with VMan Magazine. It's really not a magazine that most of us were familiar with, but the article was great and the pictures of Rob very GQ.

The ladies of American Morning could not resist a bit of good natured teasing while Rob was filing in for John Roberts last week. Enjoy!

Amazon is taking preorders for CNN's Black in America DVD, due for release on August 26.

And from the CNN Pressroom:
CNN Celebrates Second Anniversary of iReport, More than 175,000 Contributions

Two years after inviting CNN’s global audience to contribute pictures and video of the news of the day, the network’s hugely successful iReport initiative has brought in more than 175,000 videos and photos in its history, nearly 125,000 coming within the second year alone.
“With iReport, CNN wanted to engage viewers who have a desire to follow and participate in the news, and our iReporters have exceeded our expectations in both the quality and quantity of their submissions over the last two years,” said Susan Grant, executive vice president of CNN News Services. “Sometimes the iReports we receive are first images of breaking news and often exhibit powerful points of view on issues or news events. But every day our iReporters show an enthusiasm for and pride in the community they have created.”

Congratulations to the CNN.com team on the success of iReport!

And I leave you for this week with belated birthday wishes to two members of the CNN family.

Happy Belated Birthday (Tuesday) to one of ATC's hottest CNN anchors, TJ Homes.

Happy Belated Birthday (Wednesday) to CNNi's Robin Oakley.
