CNN'S DAN RIVERS GETS EMMY NOMINATION

CNN's Bangkok correspondent Dan Rivers has been nominated for an Emmy for his coverage of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar. His nomination comes in the "Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story in a Regular Scheduled Newscast".
On Twitter yesterday Rivers said: "Very chuffed I have been nominated for an Emmy. Low chance of winning against stiff competition but nice to get to the last six." Commenting in a story about his experiences on CNN he said: ""It was bad, and ... it's the kind of story you really feel emotionally. In that way, it's easy to write the story, because it just flows out. You feel passionate about it."
Rivers had to operate undercover for his Myanmar assignment and was constantly being hunted by the authorities.
