Anderson Cooper, anchor of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360°,” will serve as emcee at the sixth annual Mirror Awards ceremony, to be held Wednesday, June 13, from 11:45 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at The Plaza Hotel, Fifth Avenue at Central Park South, New York City.

He has also played a pivotal role in CNN’s political coverage, and has anchored from conventions and moderated several presidential debates. He is also the host and executive producer of the CNN daytime talk show “Anderson,” and provides reports for CBS’s “60 Minutes.” His memoir “Dispatches from the Edge” (Harper Paperbacks, 2007) was a best-seller.

He was previously with ABC and, before that, Channel One News, where he held several different positions, including anchor, reporter and correspondent.

Cooper and “Anderson Cooper 360°” have won several major journalism awards, including multiple Emmys.

The luncheon ceremony will include the presentation of juried awards in seven categories:

  • Best Single Article, Traditional/Legacy Media ($1,000 prize)

The Mirror Awards are the most important awards for recognizing excellence in media industry reporting.

Finalists and winners are chosen by a group of journalists and journalism educators.
