Sabreen Taha

About Me

Hi, I’m Sabreen Taha – a journalist, producer, and storyteller from Jerusalem, now based in Washington, D.C. 

With over 10 years of experience, I’ve worked across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, telling stories that matter and driving impactful media projects.

I hold a Master’s in Film and Media Production from the New York Film Academy (thanks to a Fulbright scholarship) and a BA in Media and Journalism from Birzeit University. I’ve also participated in the U.S. Department of State’s SUSI program, studying American media at UCLA.

My work with Reuters, Al Jazeera English, and other networks has allowed me to amplify underrepresented voices and bring global stories to life. I’m always eager to collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of storytelling and make a real impact.

 

Let’s connect!

Sabreen is a warm sensitive and hard working person. She is dedicated to the concept of using media for improving society and is a professional when it comes to working on a media report. She is keen on video and social media and when she worked with us she excelled in both. I highly recommend her

I have worked with Sabreen for almost 5 years and she never stopped pushing and looking forward on how to develop her career. She is cool especially when working under pressure. In an agency the producer has multitasks and big responsibilities to deliver stories, Sabreen was doing great in finding stories and deliver them. She left for an MA and I am sure now she has great experience and I highly recommend her in the production and media business.

Sabreen is diligent journalist with integrity. Cool under pressure and able to produce, fix, edit and prepare next day's story while delivering on today's. Her language skills complemented her abilities to open doors and interview the right people at the right time. While working with her I learned a lot in terms of new locations, deeper knowledge of reporting in the Palestinian Territories and Israel and how to present a range of complex social, economic and political issues to an international audience. A determined and compassionate journalist who I value enormously.

Consultancy

I give media consultancies for organizations and individuals on building productions and using different mediums to tell a story. 

If you have any questions or ideas and would like us to have a call to discuss a matter you have in production and think that I am the right person for this, please hit me up and let’s talk!

Video

Producing videos is one of the services I can provide you with as I have more than 10 years of experience in creating visual content. 

I have worked with many media outlets, in news and entertainment to build a narrative and tell the story visually to deliver an accurate and strong message.

I have a big network of contacts around the world and can follow almost any story and find the right contacts for it, in addition to building the content itself and its production elements including the budget and crews. 

It’s always fun to build visual content and I always learn so much from each story I produce.

Event Management and trainings

I had the chance to work as an assistant stage manager at the October 6th victory anniversary in Egypt with the team of Clusters of Light show in Egypt 2015 and later that year at the UAE National day celebrations. 

I have learnt so much about producing and building such events and would love to get the chance to do this again and be able to organize, build and be part of an amazing team to bring a huge event to life. 

I had the chance to also give trainings in podcasting and video production to teach others the tools and techniques that I have learnt over the years. 

Audio & Podcast

 have a very good experience producing audio content and podcasts, having worked with Thmanyah, Sowt Podcasts, Radio al-Balad and multiple radio stations in the region before.

Throughout my experience in the audio and podcasts field, I have produced over 9 different shows from scratch with tens of episodes. One of them was Dom Tak show of Sowt Podcasts which focuses on music in the Arab World and the region. 

If you’re interested in building and having rich content for a podcast or an audio product, I can help you produce it and build an identity for it, so you can tell your story and reach millions of listeners.
