    Turned on the news on AlJ a few minutes ago, and yet another familiar
    face from Efc|Efc+ local media pops up: Anna Burns-Francis. She was one of
    the large crop of layoffs from TVNZ earlier this year, and online
    reports say her husband got a job in Dubai, so the family moved there.

    Doha, Qatar is obviously not that far away for a commute of some kind.
    So she joins a bunch of Kiwis currently working for that network:
    among others I can think of are Elizabeth Puranam, Tom McRae and Wayne
    Hay. And thatrCOs just among those who have shown their faces on camera.

    Speaking of Wayne Hay, found this interview <https://www.asiamediacentre.org.nz/features/q-and-a-wayne-hay-al-jazeera-correspondent-based-in-bangkok>
    where he says herCOs been with Al Jazeera English pretty much since its founding.
