Vittert's Bio Now Up at KATV.com

Well the KATV webmaster has finally added the station's newest reporter's bio to the website. Below is Leland Vittert's bio from KATV.com.

"Leland grew up just north of Arkansas in Missouri, but after spending a summer in Fayetteville, he fell in love with the Hogs and all else Arkansan. Leland started in journalism when he was 17, interning at KMOX radio in St. Louis. After a summer spinning tunes on the radio, he switched to TV and interned at Fox 2 in St. Louis.

His first on-air job was as an intern-reporter at NBC 15 in Madison, Wisconsin. Last summer, he covered everything from the Hogs to murder investigations for a station in Fayetteville. Leland graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern in Chicago with a double major in Journalism and Economics. He also spent a year studying at the London School of Economics.

Leland spends his free time enjoying the Natural State, reading and working out. However, he loves nothing more than a good story, so if you have one, give him a call or send him an e-mail at lvittert@katv.com."
