Let The Awards Begin

Cooper Wins Sidney Award

By Kevin Allocca on Feb 17, 2010 11:19 AM

• CNN's Anderson Cooper -- along with producer Charlie Moore and cameraman Neil Hallsworth -- has been awarded the January Sidney Award "for his network's unrivaled coverage of the devastation following the recent earthquake in Haiti." The Sidney Award is a monthly social justice journalism award given by the Hillman Foundation. Cooper returned to Haiti last week to continue coverage, though at least one writer was not as impressed during the second go-around.

Jeneen Interlandi of Newsweek was not as impressed (follow the "not as impressed" link) with Anderson's reporting the second time around. Who cares what she thinks, what Anderson did is what's important, and that's why he and Charlie and Neil received this award. Read next post (above).
