Simi speaks with Saeed Ahmed, Director of Digital News at NPR.
Prior to joining NPR in 2021, Saeed served as Assistant Managing Editor of CNN Digital. He began his 13-year career at CNN as a news desk editor for The CNN Wire, and went on to spearhead content diversity efforts and create the top two newsletters in CNN's portfolio: 5 Things and The Good Stuff. Prior to CNN, Saeed spent seven years at the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, where he was a part of the breaking-news team that became a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Recently, he was awarded a News Emmy Award for an interactive media piece: How American Police Gear up to Respond to Protests.
Originally born in Bangladesh and raised in the United Arab Emirates, Saeed first immigrated to the U.S. to attend Morehouse, a historical Black college. In this episode, Saeed takes us through his journey in journalism, from being an Atlanta-based cops and crimes beat reporter to shaping the future of news at National Public Radio today.
