Anderson Cooper was born on June 3, 1967 in New York. Anderson was born into a wealthy family; his mother is designer and heiress, Gloria Vanderbilt. He attended the Ivy League University, Yale, and earned his bachelor’s degree in political science in May of 1989. This helped spark his interest in political journalism. ======

ABC Broadcaster
Cooper’s first formal news casting job was at ABC network. He was hired in September of 1999 to anchor the news show “World News Now”. Anderson continued to work for ABC for two years until he was hired at CNN. Anderson was first hired as a weekend news anchor. It is said that Cooper became a news anchor for CNN because he felt the desire to report the news to the common American citizens after the horrifying tragedy of September 11th.

When the war in Iraq first begun in 2001, Anderson Cooper was the selected newscaster from CNN to cover the breaking story. Cooper traveled over to Iraq to portray the soldiers’ point of view. Cooper also interviewed both democratic and republic citizens of American to gather their opinions about the war. After his outstanding work covering the war in Iraq, Anderson Cooper finally earned his own show at CNN in September of 2003. His new broadcasting show was titled: “Anderson Cooper, 360”. Anderson is quoted saying: "I think the notion of traditional anchor is fading away, the all-knowing, all-seeing person who speaks from on high." He displayed both the Republican and Democratic points of views. This demonstrates how Cooper appeals to different types of people, making him maintain an interpersonal intelligence.

Hurricane Katrina Aid
Not only is Anderson Cooper a news reporter, he is also a humanitarian. Cooper traveled down to Louisiana in September of 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck. While he was in News Orleans, Cooper did more than tell the news; he helped four hundred and fifty senior citizens out of hazardous areas. He also delivered basic needs, such as good, to the devastated victims. ([])

Anderson Cooper’s most recent humanitarian actions have been involved with the earthquake in Haiti.

Cooper also reported back home to Americans about the tragedy that occurred there. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/martins_nunomiguel/4290466936/) ([])

Author
The spring of 2006 was a big time for Cooper. He wrote his first book about his life and his news experience titled: __Dispatches from The Edge: A Memoir of War, Dispatches, and Survival__. Anderson Cooper also won his first Emmy in August of 2006. He was bestowed this award because of his newscast about the famine in Niger.
