Kiran Khalid is a broadcast journalist with more than ten years of newsroom experience. Kiran has worked on-air for every network affiliate in markets including Corpus Christi, Austin, Mobile, San Francisco, Las Vegas and, most recently, New York City.
After September 11, 2001, she was one of the first American journalists to gain access into a Pakistani madrassa (religious school) to see firsthand what many were calling "terrorist breeding grounds." In August of 2005 she traveled to Niger and Mali to cover the famine that gripped the West African countries for CNN International. That story was the basis of a documentary showcased as a finalist at the 2006 United Nations Film Festival. Kiran's most recent foreign assignment was in Pakistan's northwest frontier province where she reported from the earthquake zone on recovery efforts. In addition to her work as a foreign correspondent, Kiran crisscrosses the country covering trials for Court TV.
Currently, she resides in Manhattan where she freelances as a reporter and field producer.
