	Alumni Spotlight Lamees El-Hadidi
	Lamees El-Hadidi, class of 1990, is a member of the first generation of Adham Center graduates, and even after graduation kept an eye out for her former colleagues. El-Hadidi was working as news desk editor in NBCs Cairo bureau, with an office right across the street from the Egyptian Radio and Television building, when the ETV building caught fire. She called her NBC colleagues, but they were far away on a story. Then she called the Adham Center. The AUC TV crew, based not far from ETV, beat the professionals to the story. After NBC, El-Hadidi went to work as a correspondent doing special reports on behalf of Egyptian TV for CNN World Report as well as doing documentaries for ETV. She attempted to apply what she had learned at the Adham Center and NBC, but ETV wasnt readythere was no Nile TV yet, no Nile News. El-Hadidi went instead to the New York Times, where she spent three years as assistant to the bureau chief and wrote a number of stories for the International Herald Tribune. She was also a contributor to the weekly magazine Sabah al-Kheir, doing profiles and special reportsincluding a superb profile on her former professor Abdallah Schleifer.
	El-Hadidi started working as a senior reporter with Kul an-Nas, a pioneering private sector magazine set up by Emad ad-Deeb, who later became her brother-in-law. The future ART talk show star Hala Sirhan was deputy editor in chief. Following the magazines success, ad-Deeb set up Alam al-Youm, the first dedicated business daily Arab newspaper and what set out to be the Financial Times of the Arab world, in 1991. El-Hadidis first post was chief of correspondents.	"The Adham Center is the place where we learned how to be real television journalists.... It prepared us for the tough jobs we are undertaking."

It was a new concept for Arab journalism, and only in 1996 when Alam al-Youm shifted focus from pan-Arab to the dynamic Egyptian market did it break into the clear. But during that time El-Hadidi married her colleague Amr ad-Deeb, then the papers deputy editor-in-chief, and they moved to Dubai to establish the Alam al-Youm Gulf bureau. MBC recruited El-Hadidi as Dubai correspondent, and her first story was an exclusive with Mikhail Gorbachev during his visit to Dubai. In 1996 she moved back to Cairo and became managing editor of Alam al-Youm and business correspondent for MBC. After a six-month maternity leave in 1998, El-Hadidi returned to TV as an al-Jazeera business corrrespondent. She remains managing editor of Alam al-Youm.
