Anderson Cooper joined CNN in 2001 and has anchored his own program, Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees, since March 2003. That show will now become the prime evening news program, replacing News Night with Aaron Brown. He had previously served as a correspondent for ABC News and was a foreign correspondent for Channel One News. Cooper has won several awards for his work, including a National Headliners Award for his tsunami coverage and an Emmy Award for his contribution to ABC's coverage of Princess Diana's funeral.
