Christiane Amanpour

Christiane Amanpour is chief international correspondent for CNN based in New York.

Amanpour got her start working for CNN in Frankfurt, Germany reporting on the democratic revolutions sweeping Eastern Europe at the time. Her coverage of the Gulf War in 1990 led to Amanpour's rise in prominence as an international correspondent. Since then she continued to report from many dangerous conflict zones including, most notably, the war in Bosnia and the conflicts in Darfur and the Middle East. Amanpour's recent work has focused on a series of long-form programs that have aired on CNN including: God's Warriors, The War Within, Where Have All The Parents Gone? and In the Footsteps of Bin Laden.
