Zeina Awad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zeina Awad (Arabic: زينة عوض) is a Lebanese/Canadian news correspondent who used to co-host Fault Lines,[1] Al Jazeera English's flagship current affairs programme about the Americas.[2] Awad says she believes that Fault Lines strives to identify and patch information gaps by "asking the tough questions" of the countries and people in power.[3]
Before joining Al Jazeera English, Awad was a producer for the BBC's HARDtalk and Panorama programmes (2004–2006), CNN, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (2000–2002). Later on, she left Al Jazeera in 2013, then joined TRT World from 2015 to 2017.[4]
After 15 years in journalism, Awad joined the international civil service and humanitarian fields as a senior strategic communications specialist and advisor for UNICEF, UNESCO and MSF, with a focus on climate justice and gender equality.
