Bio

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin

 

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin is an Arab-American journalist, social-media addict and works as a producer and host for the Huffington Post Streaming Network. In 2011, Ahmed created, produced and co-hosted Al Jazeera English’s groundbreaking social media show, “The Stream”, an award-winning interactive talk show that sources content from social networks, tapping into online communities to unearth underreported stories. He has a Masters degree in journalism from Columbia University. In 2008, his master’s project earned him a Webby Award for “Defining Middle Ground: The Next Generation of Muslim New Yorkers.” Ahmed is a producer and host at HuffPost Streaming Network.
