Anderson has a distinctively regional perspective on some of the most relevant news stories of today, including the changing political-economic developments in the Gulf, the regional rivalries between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and the deepening humanitarian crisis arising from years of political turmoil in Syria and Iraq.
Anderson is a professional interviewer, proficient in close interrogation, and has questioned many of the world’s leading politicians, decision-makers, and thought leaders. She has held one-on-one interviews with world leaders, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir, U.S. Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed Al Thani, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, among others. She’s also at home with celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, William, Akon, Oprah Winfrey, Juliette Binoche, Andrew Lloyd-Weber, Beyoncé, George Clooney, Lady Gaga, Tom Hanks, Javier Bardem, and Brad Pitt, quizzing the world’s A-listers.
Anderson has spent most of her time traveling around the Middle East in an unprecedented era of upheaval and transition after Connect the World moved to Abu Dhabi. After the ban on female driving had been lifted, Anderson and the team became the first team to broadcast from Riyadh. From Tehran to Jerusalem, from Istanbul to Beirut, she has broadcast special shows offering a number of interviews, stories, and packages to foreign viewers of CNN around the globe.
Anderson claims that a good TV show is akin to a good party for dinner. The discussion could begin with the serious issues of the day but it would still involve discussion of the arts, culture, and sport. She is as relaxed sitting for exclusive interviews with world leaders as she is anchoring special editions of her show from a superyacht anchored for the summit of the 2017 F1 season at Yas Marina.
Anderson wrote from Greece on the protests against austerity, from Tunisia during the uprisings of the Arab Spring, and from Rome on the abdication of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis as his successor. She was also the official correspondent for the 2012 CNN Olympic Games and live coverage of Prince George’s birth from London’s Buckingham Palace. She also played a lead role in the detailed coverage by CNN of both the 7/7 attacks in London and the coverage of the war in Iraq by the network. Anderson has also concentrated on discussing problems impacting women and young people worldwide. She interviewed senior Saudi officials on the women’s rights record in the countries, while she debated with a panel of experts as part of Connect the World whether the Arab Spring had created new opportunities for women and young people. She also held a live chat with NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg in 2013, who was based on the International Space Station, asking multi-sourced social media questions about her.
Anderson has considerable experience in business journalism, including posts with ITN, CNBC Europe, and Bloomberg in the UK. After receiving a Master of Mass Communication from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University in 1992, she started her career in journalism as a print reporter with different business publications in Arizona and was inducted into her hall of fame in 2012. At Sussex University in the UK, she received her BA (Hons) in Economics.
