About Me

Arabella Diedrich is an aspiring reporter and a University of Texas at Austin class of 2025 graduate, having received her bachelor’s degree in journalism and a minor in social and behavioral sciences.

She has served as the public information intern at the Travis County District Attorney’s Office since January 2025. During her time at the office, she has seen firsthand the importance of informing the public on criminal acts as timely and accurately as possible to keep them safe. Her role allowed her special insight into how the criminal justice system works as well as how to access and understand court records and press releases.

During her time at the Fort Worth Report, she improved my interview skills by speaking to a variety of individuals including a regional director from the Environmental Protection Agency, a spokesperson for the Islamic Association of North Texas, and several house representatives. She learned the importance of holding elected officials accountable through honest and ethical reporting. Tight deadlines taught her how to use quick news judgment and to pinpoint what information the public needs.

Although she is a writer at heart, she has extensive knowledge of digital and social media, recognizing the importance of having a toolbelt of skills in an industry where we are expected to do it all.

Arabella is passionate about covering crime and public safety but enjoys reporting a vast range of topics from lifestyle to sports. If you have an issue or event that needs coverage, contact her via email at bellaremy11@gmail.com.
