Wed Mar 04 2009What the heck was CNN thinking? I sure hope Kelli's days of journalism are not over. It would surely be a major loss.

Mon Aug 27 2007I have to agree with all those who described Kelli as poised, articulate, and dedicated. There aren't enough complimentary things to say about her as a reporter and as a person. CNN is lucky to have her.

Thu Apr 26 2007I interned for Kelli, and while I was a fan before I met her, my admiration only grew the longer I knew her. I can't say enough good things about Kelli. She is the kindest, brightest, most dedicated reporter at CNN. Not only is she a fabulous and beautiful correspondent, but she's a real class act with zero ego; a rarity in her profession. Everyone at CNN loves and respects her, whether it's Lou Dobbs or the camera man. She was the one person who always took the time to be a mentor, even though she was always slammed with important stories. Her advice was invaluable to me, and more insightful than anything I ever learned in my journalism classes. Best of all, she's hilarious and loves her job, which made working with her so special. Kelli's authentic panache clearly comes through in every story she reports, and I'm proud to say I once worked for her!

Wed Mar 23 2005Kelli is fantastic. She is captivating to watch and carries herself in an extremely professional manner. She strives for accuracy and acan be counted on to get the story right.

Fri Mar 04 2005Absolutely putrid. I remember one of her reports during the Bush-Kerry election season, where she basically REPORTED that Al-Qaeda was rooting for John Kerry to win. Sometimes, it's better for a reporter to to discriminate between the facts, and what Karl Rove whispers into your ear.

Wed Jul 07 2004I find Kelli consistantly poised, informative and one who presents an undersatanding of the fact behind an event. I want to understand the who, what and why of a story and Kelli delivers. I know I will get the facts correct and in an unbiased manner. I think she is a fine journalist.

Thu Jun 17 2004During my 15 mins. of fame, a few years back, I was interviewed by a slew of tv reporters some of them celebrity 'star' reporters but 1 of them was CNN's Kelli Arena. A star in my eyes. In the short time that we engaged one another I came away with a warm hearted fondness and great respect for this lady. The so called celebrity correspondents could not hold a candle to Ms. Arena. She indeed is a rare find. Her reporting is concise, to the point and delivered with a poignant charm that clearly makes her stand out as one of the best on TV. She is no talking head! Kelli is a woman of substance and most of all integrity. I applaude her work and wish her the best in her career. Perhaps she can fill the void Barbara Walters has left? Keep it up Kelli. One odd tidbit that may attest to Kelli's appeal, my aging mother consistently comments on how lovely she looks tonight, what nice earrings.

Thu Jun 03 2004Kelli Arena- Best reporter in her field. No question of Who?, What? When?, Where? or Why? in her reporting. Very thorough.
by newshound
Sat May 29 2004Unsubstantiated, sensationalist reporting. Lacks insight, intelligence and integrity. A waste of space.
by frenie94
Sat May 29 2004Ms. Arena should disclose her ties to al Qaeda that document her assertions about its presidential preference. Or does Kelli use the Psychic Hotline for source material. What a loser.

Fri May 28 2004Inept.
by sf_bay_voter
Fri May 28 2004Ms. Arena reports on speculation about John Kerry as fact without bothering to name her sources. She is a sloppy reporter and clearly biased in her reporting.
