Oprah Winfrey: How Has Anderson Cooper Inspired You?

May 10th, 2006 12:30 PM

Has Anderson Cooper been a source of inspiration for you or someone you know? From staging demonstrations to adopting children, Oprah wants to hear about it! According to TVNewser, Oprah appears to be preparing a segment dedicated to the CNN anchor, and is asking viewers to write about how Cooper’s reporting has inspired them to "take action."

The Oprah Winfrey Show website lists a few examples of what they are seeking:

Has Anderson Cooper encouraged you to make the world a better place? If so, what have you done to take action? Maybe you’ve traveled to faraway places to help, donated your time to hurricane survivors, initiated a campaign for the less fortunate, staged a demonstration, or a food drive, or even adopted a child because Anderson Cooper moved you to do so.

If Anderson Cooper has inspired you to take action, The Oprah Winfrey Show wants to hear from you! Please tell us your story.

Perhaps this boost from Oprah will "inspire" viewers to tune into Cooper’s evening broadcast, which, as Newsbusters reported here, has lower ratings than his predecessor, Aaron Brown.
