Christiane Amanpour, CNN's Chief International Correspondent and pioneering female journalist, sat down with us to discuss why she thinks it is important that sports be a signifigant part of every young girl's life.
CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour’s impact on history is immeasurable but certain. She is undoubtedly one of the hardest-working journalists in the world and has earned the international community’s respect and awe at every turn of her unprecedented work.
Joining CNN as an assistant to the international news desk in Atlanta in 1983, Amanpour rose to the role of chief international correspondent by providing the most in-depth and integral reporting from every major international news event, including her extensive coverage of conflicts in the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East.
Amanpour is truly the leader in her field with her seemingly limitless capacity for securing interviews with the world’s most charged political figures precisely when they are at the centers of the most heated and sensitive world issues.
In New York this past October, we were honored to have secured an interview of our own, as Christiane Amanpour sat down to explain her thoughts on the value of sports for women and particularly, young girls.
