Rob DiRienzo began his journalism career at 14 years old, when he convinced his New Jersey hometown’s AM radio station to hire him as a summer intern. With no driver’s license, DiRienzo rode his bike to cover everything from car accidents to town council meetings.
Now an Emmy-nominated journalist for FOX 5 Atlanta, DiRienzo reports on major stories, including the recent high-profile shooting of a police officer outside the CDC’s headquarters, politics, immigration, and a Midtown Atlanta mass shooting, which he broke on live TV, using his phone.
DiRienzo was also responsible for obtaining the recording of Donald Trump urging Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” votes.
Prior to Atlanta, DiRienzo was a multimedia reporter for Fox News in Boston, where he contributed to the network’s national coverage of stories such as the arrests of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He also traveled the country on the 2020 presidential election campaign trail, from Joe Biden’s campaign launch to the Democratic National Convention.
Earlier in his career, DiRienzo served as an airborne reporter aboard WNBC-TV’s Chopper 4, and while still in college, he was a junior reporter for FOX 29 Philadelphia.
Using that drive that launched his career, DiRienzo reports from the frontlines of major stories, relentless and unafraid.
