Talk:Christiane Amanpour/Archives/2021

Awards
Outside of her Polk and Peabody awards, there is little mention of others she has garnered throughout her career. However, is the purpose of Wikipedia to glorify Left-leaning "journalists" such as Amanpour, who is only ever fair to one ideology (her own)?

From her CNN profile:

"Amanpour was given her first major assignment covering the Gulf War[dubious – discuss], which led to her being transferred in 1986 to Eastern Europe to report on the fall of European communism." How can this be, when the Gulf War was 1990-91? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.203.64.34 (talk) 18:19, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

''Amanpour has received many prestigious awards in recognition of for her reporting on major world stories. For her reporting from the Balkans, Amanpour received a News and Documentary Emmy, two George Foster Peabody Awards, two George Polk Awards, a Courage in Journalism Award, a Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival Gold Award and the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. She was also named 1994 Woman of the Year by the New York Chapter of Women in Cable and Telecommunications, and she helped the CNN news network win a duPont Award for its coverage of Bosnia and a Golden CableACE for its Gulf War coverage.''

''Amanpour’s 1991 Gulf War reporting also received the Breakthrough Award from Women, Men and Media. Her contribution to the 1985 four-week series, ‘Iran: In the Name of God’, helped CNN earn its first duPont award.''

In total Amanpour has won nine Emmy awards, including one for her documentary ‘Struggle for Islam’; the 2002 Edward R Murrow Award for Distinguished Achievement in Broadcast Journalism; the Sigma Chi Award (SDX) for her reports from Goma, Zaire; a George Polk Award for her work on the CNN International special ‘Battle for Afghanistan’ in 1997; and the Nymphe d’Honneur at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in 1997, to name but a few.''

Missing years
She would have graduated in 1979 but career starts in 1983.

What happened to those missing years or did she take years longer than normal to graduate? Rustygecko (talk) 20:37, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
