Anderson Cooper strikes a pose in September’s Maxim and Esquire, but it is a “very different Mr. Cooper who has captivated CNN viewers in the two weeks since Hurricane Katrina crashed ashore,” the New York Times says.
“He is the anchorperson of the future,” CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein says. He is “an anti-anchorperson,” he said, adding: “He’s all human. He’s not putting it on.”
More from Klein: “It sometimes feels as if we need to bungee-cord him to the anchor chair. He’s happy to have Mr. Cooper stay in the South indefinitely. “He’s young and healthy, he can go forever.”
