Andrea Koppel Biography

Andrea Koppel is an award-winning, internationally-known journalist who has covered many of the most important stories and events in the United States and throughout the world for more than two decades. She spent the previous 14 years as a CNN reporter, reporting from a variety of locations across the world, from Africa to China, and covering three secretaries of state and two presidents. Koppel uses her expertise in the field, as well as her journalistic skills, to shine a light on American policies and internal concerns, as well as global issues. Koppel, who was eight months pregnant at the time, was the first to get an exclusive interview with Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi in December 2003, during which he officially declared his country's effort to build weapons of mass devastation. She was in Libya for ten days, much of it as the sole American journalist allowed in. Throughout her career, Koppel was able to get several exclusive interviews with international leaders, including China's former President Jiang Zemin before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997 and Taiwan's first democratically elected president, Lee Teng-hui. Between 1998 and 2006, she covered many Arab-Israeli peace discussions, including the Wye River, Shepherdstown, and Camp David II negotiations. Koppel has distinguished herself from her colleagues over the years by providing in-depth reporting and illuminating conversations with world leaders, politicians, dissidents, and social activists. She talks authoritatively and confidently on the current status of culture on many continents, bringing her extensive knowledge and journalistic standards to every presentation.
