Sana Issa

A fully bilingual (English and Arabic) news editor and communications professional with specialist knowledge of the Middle East and more than 20 years of experience working in broadcasting and print media, both in the field and on the foreign desk.

A proven manager of money and operations, my experience also includes liaising with clients for their needs, as well as running Newsweek magazine’s Beirut, Lebanon bureau during the high-pressure period of the country’s civil war.

My languages and my experience in journalism for AP – the biggest international news agency in the world, as well as my operational skills, and my academic knowledge of the region, makes me a very strong candidate to lead inspired political, humanitarian, cultural or development projects.
