As a remarkably tumultuous year in international news draws to a close, the world’s news leader looks back at some of the most compelling reporting and extraordinary events in a CNN special: ‘Defining Moments 2011’.
Around the world, CNN has been at the forefront of every major event. With unprecedented access and incomparable global reach, the network has brought fast, accurate and impartial reports live from the frontline.
CNN reporters witnessed revolt across the Arab world that toppled governments, and were on the ground in Japan as citizens braved disasters both natural and manmade. In ‘Defining Moments 2011’, CNN reflects on this historic and dynamic year, from the death of Osama Bin Laden months before the tenth anniversary of September 11 to the slow disintegration of the Eurozone, the terror attacks in Norway, bombings in Moscow and the ongoing widespread famine in East Africa.
‘Defining Moments 2011’ takes viewers on a journey, remembering a year of stories that had audiences all over the globe glued to their screens. Go back inside Moammar Gadhafi’s compound on the day Tripoli fell. Relive the moment Prince William married Kate Middleton. And look back at the launch of NASA’s last space shuttle as it headed skyward for the final time. Reflect on the devastation that followed some of the worst floods parts of Australia, Brazil and Thailand have experienced for decades.
‘Defining Moments 2011’ invites viewers to reflect on a year that will stay in the collective memory for a long time.

Oh, wow – it’s like a US Mole reunion. Except they never appeared together. CNN Fail.
Think I’ll just watch ABC News 24’s coverage of new year’s eve in New York seems though it will not only be in 16:9 widescreen, but also in HD. Pittyful that they say they are the “world’s news leader” when they can’t even provide their content in an acceptable format. If they want to keep their channel in 4:3 thats fine, but do like the U.S. and provide a HD similcast so we can see the whole picture. Its rediculous that it is one of the last international news channels to convert – with the others being Bloomberg (which offers a HD simulcast in some countries) and CCTV News (which is due to China only converting to digital in the last couple of years so it will take time for them to catch up).
