Arti Nehru: KPSP Local 2 News Mobile Journalist
Born and raised in southern California, this reporter is happy to bring breaking news to viewers in her home state! Arti’s curiosity for life and passion for writing are what fueled her desire to become a reporter. She loves the daily rush and getting to learn something new everyday.
Arti received her Master of Science in Journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. She did her Bachelor of Arts from UC Berkeley where she completed a major in Mass Communications and minor in English.
Arti dabbled with her first major print and broadcast reporting assignments while she was in graduate school. This included exploring life on Capitol Hill while reporting as a Washington D.C. Correspondent for 7 CBS affiliates in Montana.
From there, Arti joined WKAG Channel 3 covering news along the border of Tennessee and Kentucky where she did it all from anchoring and reporting to shooting and editing all of her stories. She got to cover many military stories at Ft. Campbell (and ride a World War II aircraft!). She also had opportunities to interview Miss USA 2007 and then-presidential candidate Fred Thompson. During her time there, Arti thoroughly enjoyed being a big sister for Big Brothers Big Sisters. As she was getting ready to leave, the mayor of Clarksville presented Arti with the “Key to the City” for her commitment to the community.
Before coming to Palm Springs, Arti reported for the ABC affiliate in Santa Barbara. At KEYT-TV, Arti covered anything and everything happening in Santa Barbara County, Ventura County and San Luis Obispo County. Her favorite moments were following high profile trials, reporting from the fire lines and getting to interview Angelina Jolie on the red carpet.
In her free time, Arti loves to read, travel, volunteer in her community and spend time with her family. Arti has been mentoring children for more than 8 years now. Currently, she has about 20 youngsters she looks forward to spending time with each week!
