Zhang Haijie (; born 28 August 1971) is a Singaporean television news presenter with MediaCorp TV Channel 8, one of two Mandarin Chinese free-to-air television channels in Singapore. Born in Xi'an, China, she became a Singaporean citizen in 2003. Since 1 May 2008, she has been anchoring ''News Tonight'' (previously known as ''News 8 at Ten'') every weeknight. Zhang has a reputation for being a highly respected news anchor in the industry, and proves to be popular among the audience due to her distinctive clear voice and professional image she portrays in the newsroom. Zhang was a part-time Ph.D. candidate at the Nanyang Technological University's Chinese division, researching the changing political role of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry before Singapore's independence. She completed her PhD in April 2012. ==Career== Prior to relocating to Singapore in November 1998, Zhang graduated top of her cohort from the Communications University of China (formerly known as Beijing Broadcasting Institute) with a First Class Honours Degree in Broadcasting and Hosting （播音主持专业）. After graduation, Zhang taught at her alma mater for four years before moving on to journalism. Zhang then worked in the Shanghai Cable TV Station for one-and-a-half years as a financial-news presenter and producer. She then decided to relocate to Singapore to work abroad. Initially hired as a trainer at the Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS) (now MediaCorp's News Department), where she trained then amateur presenters such as Tung Soo Hua, Zhang was asked to anchor the 1 pm news bulletin after just one week into the job. Zhang was then promoted and asked to anchor the 10 pm news on MediaCorp TV Channel 8. In 2003, with SPH MediaWorks Channel U, Zhang hosted the current-affairs programme, ''Inside Out'', which explores various social issues in Singapore and the region. The programme was very well received, which set the record with sky-high viewership ratings. ''(Inside Out, last episode)'' Till now, no other Chinese-language current-affairs programme has managed to break the viewership record ''Inside Out'' had set. Zhang also co-hosted radio talkshows on UFM 1003. On 1 January 2005, following the merger with MediaCorp TV and SPH MediaWorks, SPH MediaWorks closed down. Zhang was the only news anchor from SPH MediaWorks to be invited back to MediaCorp's News department. However, she rejected the move. Zhang took a six-month break, travelled to places such as Egypt and Russia. In July 2005, she went back to studies and became a full-time PhD candidate at Nanyang Technological University's Chinese division with her thesis on the political role of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry before Singapore's independence. After three years off the air, Zhang announced on 7 January 2008, that she would return to broadcasting on MediaCorp TV Channel 8, and would assume duties as a news anchor on 15 February 2008, reporting on the ''2008 Singapore Government Financial Budget''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zhang Haijie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
