Outstanding Coverage of a Breaking News Story in a Regularly Scheduled Newscast
ABC News Special Events / Nightline -Gadhafi Speaks
Getting into Libya, a tumultuous country in the middle of a full-fledged civil war, proved to be a challenging task for ABC News' Christiane Amanpour and her producers. Once inside the country, they traveled through a nation on the brink to interview Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator who ruled Libya with flamboyance and fear, the man behind one of the most infamous terror attacks on U.S. citizens. Amanpour was the only American reporter to sit with Gaddafi, a man who had been in power for 41 1/2 years. He walked right in through the front doors to greet her, wanting people to know that he was still in Tripoli. He refused to acknowledge Libyan protesters and laughed at demands that he step down, even as anti-government forces raged across his country.
