Today we feature Claire Shipman. Shipman Shipman began her broadcast career as a production assistant and intern at CNN's bureau in New York. Shipman worked at CNN for a decade. During that time she gained widespread recognition while covering the White House. Shipman previously spent five years at CNN's Moscow bureau, where she won international praise for her coverage of Boris Yeltsin's 1993 assault on the Russian Parliament building.
Shipman's Moscow coverage helped CNN earn a National Headliners Award and her reporting on the aborted Soviet coup and 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union won the network a coveted Peabody Award. She also received a Dupont Award and an Emmy as one of the key contributors to CNN's coverage of the 1989 Tianamen Square student uprising, as well as a Dupont Award for CNN's coverage of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
