Biography

Born to journalist parents, Cruz always had a passion for written works. In her youth she competed in writing contests. She won speech and poetry competitions as well as literature prizes.[1]

Cruz attended Universidad del Norte, in Barranquilla, Colombia where she majored in social communications and journalism. While studying, she worked in news radio on "Emisora Atlantico", Cruz began her broadcasting career at 17 as news anchor for the newscast "CV Noticias" on the regional television station Telecaribe.

Manuel Teodoro gave Cruz her first exposure on national Colombian TV, as news anchor and reporter on the TV Magazine "Extra" on Caracol Television.[2]

In early 2000, Cruz moved to New York and worked for Spanish language Public TV on HITN (Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network), where she also produced the shows "Corriente Cultural" and "NotiCultura".[3]

Later that year, she started as the New York reporter for the daily morning show "Despierta America", on Univision,[4] and did live shots for the longest-running variety TV show in the world, "Sabado Gigante".

In 2001, Cruz was hired by the New York Telemundo affiliate WNJU as a reporter for "Noticiero 47".[5][6] With only one month on the job, she covered the WTC terrorist attacks, being one of the first reporters on the scene at Ground Zero.[7] [8] [9] Her work was noted in the book, "Running Toward Danger: Stories Behind the Breaking News of September 11".[10]; and she was featured on the 9/11 Tenth year exhibit on the Newseum on Washington D.C.

After just 18 months working as a morning reporter, Cruz became news anchor on WNJU, now part of NBC, and received the 2004 Emmy Award as Best News Anchor for Tri-State area (NY, NJ, and CT).[11][12][13]

She was nominated the following year for five awards, winning another Emmy Award, this time for Best Newscast in 2005.[14] Additionally, Cruz won the ACE Award as Best News Anchor in 2005.[15] 2006 saw Cruz win her third Emmy Award for Best Series of Social Interest.[16]

Cruz then started as New York correspondent for "En Vivo y Directo", on TeleFutura.[17] Only two months later, she was brought to "Primer Impacto" on Univision Network.[18] She won the NY Latin Award for Best National Correspondent in 2008.[19] [20]

Cruz transferred to Miami in 2010 and has continued as a correspondent.[21] Cruz often sits in as news anchor for shows at Univision, such as "Primer Impacto", "Despierta América", "Al Punto" and "Desayuno Alegre". She also briefs on "Noticiero Univision". and "Noticias Al Minuto" on TeleFutura.[22]

In July 2011 Natalia Cruz is promoted to Anchor for "Primer Impacto Extra"[23], broadcasted on the weekends at 5pm / 4pm center[24][25]; replacing Weekend Anchor Satcha Pretto who left the program to become the new News Anchor for Despierta America instead of veteran Neida Sandoval.
