6.00 Thinking About Careers

Christiane Amanpour first started at CNN in 1983. This is where she really got her start as a news anchor. She's also worked at ABC, WJAR-TV, WBRU, and CBS. Through all these different news networks, she's taken on the role of a TV news reporter, a journalist, an electronic graphics designer, a radio reporter, and a producer. Because of all her experience in the news world, she's known as one of today's leading news correspondents. 

She's currently working at the London CNN location. This is different from her previous jobs because most of her previous jobs required her to be in the United States. Although, in her previous jobs as well as her current job, she's working as a news anchor. Some of her duties as a news anchor include keeping up to date with news around the world, being comfortable on camera, and gather researched news stories. I would say that she is currently at the top of her career. She's already won nine Emmy's for her work in the news industry, as well as countless other awards.
