Anchors & Reporters
Michael Holmes co-anchors the second half of CNN International's rolling newscast 'Your World Today' with Daljit Dhaliwal. Holmes, the first Australian anchor for CNN International (CNNI), joined the network in April 1996.
Although primarily an Atlanta-based anchor, he has reported from the Middle East, India, Nepal and Pakistan, and he spent nearly two months reporting for CNN from Afghanistan. Holmes has also conducted workshops for affiliates in Indonesia and Thailand.
During the recent war in Iraq, Holmes was one of the network's lead anchors reporting on all aspects of the war from Kuwait City and then Baghdad once the Hussein regime fell. He spent several weeks anchoring CNNI's coverage from the Iraqi capital, as well as producing many taped reports during a time of continued skirmishes.
In April 2002 he was one of the few journalists reporting from Ramallah during the Israeli incursion, and, despite Israeli gunfire, secured an exclusive interview with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat inside his besieged headquarters during a highly dangerous period in the West Bank.
As an anchor, he has interviewed prime ministers and presidents of several nations and has anchored numerous live events and breaking news stories from around the world.
Before joining CNNI, Holmes worked for Australia's Nine Network, and was one of the few Australian journalists to cover first hand the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Holmes was based in London for four years as the network's European correspondent for current affairs, covering such events as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Lockerbie plane crash, Northern Ireland and the start of the Gulf War. His reports in Bucharest during the miners' uprising in 1990 earned him an Australian Television Society Award for Coverage of a Current Affairs Story.
After working in newspapers for nearly five years, he began his television career in 1982 with the Nine Network in Perth. He also has worked for several British media outlets, including WTN, The Observer newspaper and TV-AM.
Apart from covering some of the most historic news events in recent times, Holmes has also conducted interviews with entertainment celebrities such as Paul McCartney, Tom Cruise, Sean Connery and Dustin Hoffman.
He began his career in 1978, at the age of 17, as a cub reporter with the Daily News, an afternoon newspaper in Perth.
