Jenan Moussa

Jenan Moussa (Arabic: جنان موسى‎; born 1984, Beirut) is an investigative reporter of the Dubai based Al Aan TV network.

Early life and education

She graduated from the American University of Science and Technology (AUST) and began to work for Al Aan, first in the office, but soon she was deployed as a field reporter in several countries[1] such as Libya, Mali, Syria or Germany.

Journalistic career

She published several reports which made worldwide headlines such as:

A report about the juridical situation in Timbuktu, Mali, during the rule of the Islamists in 2012–2013.[2]

An interview of the imprisoned Alexanda Kotey in Syria, who is a member of the so-called "The Beatles", a British group from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).[3]

And the research about Omaima Abdi, the widow of Deso Dogg, a German rapper who joined ISIL. She obtained her cellphone and traced her to Hamburg, Germany,[4] where Omaima Abdi was detained in and prosecuted following her research.[5]

Awards

In 2008, while still a student at the AUST, she was honored with the Ghassan Tueni Award.[6]
