Renu “Rene” Lobo has earned name recognition as a broadcast journalist over the last 14 years. Her television programs can be seen on International Television (Time Warner Cable of NYC) and QPTV. Her programs are not only invigorating and entertaining but also educational and informative highlighting issues of topical interest whether it’s public safety, domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, health care or any other quality of life concerns that impact our daily lives- Lobo has covered them all.

Besides being a News Director, investigative reporter and live-call-in-host, Rene has been a strong community activist. She’s been actively involved for the last 4 years on the Queens DA’s Asian Advisory Council, Flushing Hospital’s Community Advisory Board, Board Director for the South Asian Bone Marrow Association (affiliate of NMDP of USA) and is the founder/director for Eyes For Hope, an organization for the blind in India.

She has successfully completed her Citizen Police Academy training so that she can be a valuable conduit between the community and NYPD. Lobo is a recipient of several awards for her broadcast work including a citation from Governor George Pataki.

Rene has been a caring conscientious voice as a broadcaster and a community activist and now she plans to take her voice to City Hall to make a positive impact on NYC politics.
