Hariharan "Hari" Sreenivasan[1] (born 1974) is an Indian-born journalist who has worked primarily for American broadcast media.
Sreenivasan was born in Mumbai, India[2] around 1974.[3] After immigrating to the United States at age seven,[4] he attended Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, Washington,[5] where he became a radio disc jockey. While earning his degree in 1995 in mass communication (with minors in politics and philosophy) at University of Puget Sound,[6] he interned for several TV news stations in Washington state. In September 2008, Sreenivasan became an American citizen.[4]
He was hired full-time in 1995 by NBC affiliate WNCN-TV in Raleigh, North Carolina and later moved to San Francisco, California, to work for CNET, covering the high tech sector. In 2004, Sreenivasan joined ABC News in New York City as a correspondent; he became co-anchor, with Taina Hernandez, of World News Now, and concurrently co-hosted, with Jake Tapper, the behind-the-scenes podcast ABC News Shuffle. In 2009, he worked as a correspondent for CBS News's Dallas bureau.[2]
Late in 2009,[7][8][9] he became an "online/on-air correspondent"[9] for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer (since renamed the PBS NewsHour), delivering the television broadcast's news-summary and end-of-the-hour recap[8] and leading the show's blog.[9]
