General Assignment Reporter

Shazia Khan has her finger on the pulse of New York. As a NY1 reporter, she's covered everything from the September 11th attack and its aftermath, to arts and entertainment issues, to cultural and lifestyle stories.

While Shazia has reported and produced a variety of segments, her favorites include those celebrating the city's cultural and religious diversity. In 2005, she served as mistress of ceremonies at Gracie Mansion to help launch Immigrant History Week with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Shazia joined NY1 news as a news assistant and worked her way up to the ranks of reporter, fulfilling a childhood dream.

A second generation Indian-American, the Westchester County native graduated from New York University with a BA in Broadcast Journalism. In 2006 she won a South Asian Journalists award for her profile of the Bangladeshi community in New York City.

She credits her accomplishments to the support of her parents, Rasheed and Shamsa Khan.
