Bernard Shaw Biography

On February 28 2001 Bernard Shaw stepped back from his daily routine as Cable News Network’s (CNN’s) Principal Anchor ending his co-anchoring duties on Inside Politics.
Shaw stepped back to write books including his autobiography; to tend to his garden and as he puts it to “give back to my wifely friend Linda her husband and to our adult daughter and son their father.” His so doing brings to an end nearly four decades of an illustrious broadcast career.
On January 16 1991 Shaw was one of three CNN reporters who captivated a worldwide audience of more than one billion with continuous coverage of the first night of the Allied Forces’ bombing of Baghdad during “Operation Desert Storm.” Shaw was in the Iraqi capital to update his exclusive interview with President Saddam Hussein conducted in October 1990.
As a result of that unprecedented coverage Shaw received numerous international as well as national awards and honors. In July 1991 he received the Eduard Rhein Foundation’s Cultural Journalistic Award marking the first time that the Foundation presented this award to a non-German. Later that year—in October—the Italian government honored him with its President’s Award presented to those leaders who have actively contributed to development innovation and cooperation. In December Shaw was the recipient of the coveted 1991 David Brinkley Award for Excellence in Communication from Barry University (Miami FL).
