Farah Nasser is a Canadian journalist with CablePulse24 as of February 22, 2010. She previously anchored CityTv Toronto's 'CityNews' weekend editions at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. with Roger Petersen until she was laid off on January 19, 2010.

As per a photo caption in the GTA Today newspaper of May 11, 2001, she wrote to every bureau CNN had and most required a credit course she didn't have by then, except Miami and New Delhi.

"I chose New Delhi because it's on the other side of the world," she said.

She started that job on Monday, May 14, 2001.
