Doane College graduate Ziad Jaber, '09, was hired on a full-time, permanent basis yesterday by NBC News in New York City.
Jaber, who has interned at the network's headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York for the past year, accepted the position of assignment editor in breaking news for the network.
While at Doane, Jaber majored in economics, but spent much of his spare time in Gaylord Hall, working for Doane media. He worked extensively with the college's radio station, KDNE, and DCTV, the college's television station. He also contributed a story or two to The Doane Owl, the student-produced newspaper.
In addition, Jaber joined several other Doane students in January 2009 on a two-week trip to Washington, D.C., where he and the other students reported about inauguration preparations and the inauguration itself, posting stories for the Omaha World-Herald and The Doaneline, the student-produced news website at Doane College.
Jaber also joined with another Doane grad, Mike Cochnar, to produce a full-length movie while he was a Doane student.
