Zhang Haijie (Chinese: 张海洁; born 28 August 1971) is an award-winning television news presenter with MediaCorp TV Channel 8, one of two Mandarin Chinese free-to-air television channels in Singapore. Since May 1, 2008, she has been anchoring News 8 at Ten every weekday night at 10pm (SIN/KUL/HK).
Career
Prior to relocating to Singapore in 1998, Zhang graduated top of her cohort from the prestigious Communication University of China (formerly known as Beijing Broadcasting Institute) with a Degree in Communications Studies. After graduation, Zhang taught at her alma mater for four years before moving on to journalism.
She 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. One week into her initial job as a trainer, where she worked at the MediaCorp's News Department in November 1998, she was asked to anchor the 1pm news bulletin instead.
Zhang was promoted and asked to anchor the 10pm news on MediaCorp TV Channel 8 till 2001. At the end of that year, Zhang resigned from MediaCorp News and crossed over to rival station SPH MediaWorks Channel U.
At SPH MediaWorks Channel U she hosted the current-affairs programme, Inside Out, which explores various social issues in Singapore and the region.
In 2005, following the merger with MediaCorp TV and MediaCorp Studios, 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.
After three years off the air, Zhang announced on January 7, 2008, that she would make return to broadcasting on MediaCorp TV Channel 8, and assume duties as a news anchor in February 2008. Her first television appearance after her comeback was on February 15, 2008, where she reported about the government's financial budget and conducted a live broadcast interview in the news studio during the 10pm news bulletin.
