Career
Zubeida has been responsible for bringing to the Today programme high profile, exclusive interviews, superb reportage from a war zone and domestic social analysis and investigative work. She was one of the first reporters to get into Pakistan, arriving 24 hours after September 11, and reported on the war from there, and in Afghanistan, for nearly three months continuously. She was the first British journalist to secure an interview with the Taliban and the only woman they spoke to throughout the war. Her reports from Israeli-occupied Palestine produced some of her finest work including a feature profiling a Palestinian suicide bomber and an interview with the elusive leader of Hamas. She excels at being first with the news and breaking big news stories. "She is fresh, relaxed yet unassuming - really exceptional. She breaks stories in the context of unearthing fresh news and information. She has broken virtually more stories than any other reporter and has won numerous awards.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
