KEEPING THEM HONEST, SYRIA'S DEADLY LIES, HOUDA MASACURE: Report by Anderson Cooper "Before I go on I want to say that because we have been covering this story night after night we realize that is can be numbing. That it may be tempting to turn away and decide you've heard enough. And I know it sounds the same every day, but that is the horror of what has happened. It is the same every single day. Today the same slaughter, the same broken bodies of children, the same screaming mothers and fathers, the same lies by a regime which has shown itself more than willing to kill it's own people day after day. It is the same every day and that is the true horror of it..."

Anderson Cooper, CNN & The Peabody Awards

Among prizes for electronic media – radio awards, television awards, interactive and new media awards – THE GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY AWARDS are considered the most prestigious. Founded in 1940, the Peabody is the also the oldest electronic media award in the world, recognizing excellence, distinguished achievement, and meritorious public service. The first radio awards were presented in 1941, for work completed in 1940. The first television awards were presented in 1948, the first cable television awards in 1981, and the first web site awards in 2003. Honoring content from large broadcast networks to tiny online outlets, from popular entertainment programs to independently produced documentaries, and all types in between, the Peabody Awards seek out “excellence on its own terms.” The awards are administered by the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Thirty-eight recipients of the 71st Annual Peabody Awards were presented with awards on May 21, 2012 at the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in New York City.

Anderson Cooper Special Report: Arab Spring, Revolution Interrupted

On Friday night AC360° aired a special report “Arab Spring: Revolution Interrupted.” It was an in-depth look at what is happening in Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, Libya and Syria, post-revolution. Anderson lead the discussion with insight from international correspondents Nic Robertson, Arwa Damon and Ivan Watson who witnessed the events first-hand and spent most of last year covering the conflicts across the region. Former CIA officer Bob Baer, who says he's never seen change in the Middle East this fast, this significant and this dangerous; joined the group/discussion.


ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: Tonight, a special Report, Arab spring: revolution interrupted. It's not off than correspondents who risk their lives covering conflict for CNN are in the same room at the same time anywhere. Tonight they are, and we're going to spend the next hour taking an up-close look at the uprisings still playing out across the Arab world.

But first, a reminder of how we got this point. In December of 2010, you may remember, a Tunisian street vendor set himself on fire. He hadn't been able to produce the proper permit, and when he refused to pay a bribe, a local inspector slapped him. That was the final straw. The final indignity for this street vendor. He died from his burns.

After his death, Tunisians' fed up with high unemployment, corruption, and repressive conditions filled the streets. It was 28 days later, the Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali resigned and fled to Saudi Arabia. A wave of revolutions followed in neighboring countries, but more than a year later they've hardly run their course.

COOPER: Fascinating times. Nic, Arwa, Ivan, Bob Baer, thank you very much. We're going to continue to watch the events in all these countries. Will the people taking to the streets, demanding change, finally get what they want and what exactly does that mean? Thanks for watching this special report, "Arab Spring: Revolution Interrupted."
