Who is Zeina Awad?

Zeina Awad co-hosts Fault Lines, Al Jazeera English’s flagship current affairs programme about the Americas. 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.

Awad’s Fault Lines coverage brought her to India where she reported on US pharmaceutical companies conducting clinical research abroad. She also traveled to Puerto Rico, projected to be the world’s slowest growing economy, to analyze the economic policies imposed on its people. She rounds out this season's coverage with an exploration of the growing gap between the wealthiest 1% of Americans and the rest of society.
