( CNN ) -- CNN senior international correspondent Nick Paton Walsh has won an Emmy and an Edward R. Murrow Award for his reports from the front line of the war in Syria . Paton Walsh has reflected on his experiences in Aleppo , where he reported on the heart-wrenching cruelty of a conflict that has torn the country apart . `` Aleppo Airstrikes '' is the account of indiscriminate shelling in the Syrian city of Aleppo . Walsh 's piece to camera sees him crouching as a government bomber jet flies above . `` It 's that sound that terrifies ordinary residents of Aleppo daily , '' he says . Of the lone infant who survives the strike , Paton Walsh observes : `` A year old , he was born into Syria 's bloody revolution , and may yet survive it still . '' In `` Aleppo : Old City Fight , '' Paton Walsh goes right inside the fight for the historic old city . His report focuses on the improvised nature of the battle , with `` pot-shots at nothing in particular '' and what it could mean for the wider conflict . Paton Walsh says of the scene in Aleppo in 2012 : `` People did n't really know where the front lines were . It was generally chaotic , and pretty much punctuated all day long with the sound of shelling , or jets flying in to hit civilian areas . '' Paton Walsh was awarded the Emmy for outstanding writing for these stories and his report from Afghanistan on an epidemic of self-immolation among young married women in Herat . In its submission to the Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards , CNN highlighted Paton Walsh 's `` poetic writing , '' saying it contrasted `` with the sobering environments from which his stories are usually drawn . '' `` His reports punch through the daily accounts of wounded and dead , and give us a fresh way to see the grinding pitilessness of war , and its quirky inconsistencies . ''
