ANDERSON COOPER has been the primary anchor of Anderson Cooper 360° since 2003. Although the program is mainly taped and broadcast from his New York City studio, and typically features reports of the day’s main news stories with added analyses from experts, Cooper is one of the few “talking heads” who still reports live fairly often from the field for major news stories. Notably, he has done extensive coverage of the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (below), the February 2011 uprisings in Egypt, and the devastating earthquake in Japan in 2011.
