ReplyDeleteof the stellar CNN reporters. CNN could celebrate
their own journalists a whole lot more.
/\ Agreed! I am glad Zakaria's work was rewarded - his show and specials are very good. Kudos to all those involved in Arab Spring coverage - brave folks! Good work CNN. Ditch the preening primetime anchors and showcase more of your fine reporters!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices, Heroes is an exceptional program, I always look forward to it each year and CNN did some remarkable work during the Arab Spring and that includes all of the reporters and anchors who were on the ground reporting there. And of course Fareed Zakaria is a huge asset for CNN, these are all well deserved recipients of the Peabody.
