Trying to report the tumultuous news from Cairo is getting to be an increasingly dangerous task.
CNN correspondents Anderson Cooper and Hala Gorani both were pummeled Wednesday while covering the pro- and anti-Mubarak demonstrations in Tahrir Square. They survived and got to safe ground before filing matter-of-fact reports on what happened.
The videos below show how it should be done. No breathless hysterics or chest-thumping. Just clear and concise information on being in a very perilous situation and living to tell about it.
