More on this busty picture in a little bit. First, a FOA found an interview that Anderson did on the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The interview was on the Diane Rehm Show. The guest host that day was Laura Knoy. You can listen to the full program here. Below, is the portion of the interview that includes Anderson. The video clips included are actually from the second anniversary of Katrina.
And now, a look at the AC360 Blog for the month of April.
Key to decipher the calendar:
- Green checks represent blog posts by Anderson.
- Red Xs represent days that Anderson anchored, but didn't post to the blog
- Days highlighted in blue represent nights that Anderson participated in the live blogging.
Those green check marks on the calendar are becoming scarce. A few stats from April:
- 276 posts were published
- Anderson posted once
- 84 named contributors posted
- The top
56 contributors so far in 2008:- David Reisner- 51
- Erica Hill- 46
- Randi Kaye- 36
- Roland Martin- 31
- David Gergen- 30
- Anderson Cooper- 29
- April 18th there were 22 posts which is the most posts we've ever seen in one day.
Although Anderson is no longer the top contributor for 2008, he is still the top contributor to the blog since it was created.
I have two 360 in :60s for you tonight. The first is from week of May 12th. All five episodes were done by Anderson.
For this past week, I only have 3 episodes and they include Tom Foreman, Anderson Cooper, and Erica Hill.
This week's puzzle comes from a screen cap during AC360 last month.
The picture I opened the post with is from the Rhode Island School of Design’s 2008 “Annual Graduate Thesis Exhibition”. The Providence Journal posted a story about the exhibit and the variety of art on display. Jessie Rausch-Dickson did a series of graphic designs entitled A Pantheon of Media Gods which featured several well known television personalities including Anderson Cooper. Anderson is depicted as the Greek God of Light & Sun, Apollo.
For those of you in the US, Happy Memorial Day!
All Things Anderson is a blog dedicated to CNN's AC360 and its host Anderson Cooper.

I've always known that Anderson is a God, lol, now I know for sure!
Nice to see Erica on the puzzle, but she didn't really help...8:34.
Interesting numbers about the 360 Blog. I wish Anderson would write more post on the regular blog, I always enjoy those.
Thanks for a great post BA!
I am not surprised that Anderson is no longer the top poster of 2008 for the 360 blog. I guess he has already abandoned his news years resolution.
As always I enjoy the 360 in 60, thanks for posting them Bookasylum.
Good find for the audio interview with Anderson although he must have been sick. Sounded like he had a cold since he hardly sounded like himself.
I always enjoy Anderson's blog stories and wish that he would do that more. Maybe, they are trying to do too much with the blog, live blogging, and the webcam. Just a thought.
I caught the movie "Recount" last night on HBO about the 2000 election with Bush-Gore and the Florida recount. Was really good and will be airing again today. Hopefully, Florida will have their "kinks" worked-out for this next time!
Hope everyone has a good Memorial Day!
That portrait is very very cool. However, I was bummed to see Ann Coulter on that site as another media "goddess"...still, the artist is very talented.
Happy Memorial Day!
@cactuskid, it does sound like he had a cold. It didn't sound like him at all. Poor man.
I listened to the interview and he sounds the same to me, maybe tired.
It is ironic that out of Nola's devistation, Anderson is "crowned a God." It was and continues to be his finest achievement, thus far.
Sick? Nah probably not awake yet. NOLA is an hour behind DC where Diane's show originates from.
Happy Memorial Day all
I got my personal best on the puzzle...8:33
Shock and Awe is on again....it is such a great special
A bit off topic: Does anyone know if AC attended John King's wedding to Dana Bash? Photos would be appreciated I'm sure.
Great find on the thesis project. And what a terrific idea to keep a graduate project interesting.
Wahoo! 6:53 I hate my new mouse, but maybe it's not as unresponsive as I thought it was?
