Jehan Casinader is one of New Zealand's leading journalists.
He was named Broadcast Reporter of the Year at the Voyager Media
Awards in 2020, and Reporter of the Year at the New Zealand
Television Awards in 2018.
From a young age, Jehan was determined to build a career in the
media. He filed his first story for TVNZ's Holmes programme at just
13 years old.
During his teens, he contributed to newspapers and magazines. By
20, he was travelling overseas, reporting from red carpets,
disaster zones - and everywhere in between.
Jehan has worked in the fast-paced world of primetime TV for a
decade, including long stints on Sunday, Seven Sharp and Close
Up.
Specialising in social issues reporting, he has covered tough
stories, like the Christchurch terror attack, the under-reporting
of sexual trauma in men, New Zealand's plastic crisis, the ethics
of killing zoo animals, and the rise of medicinal cannabis.
Jehan has interviewed people from all walks of life, including
murderers, athletes, cult leaders, celebrities and Prime Ministers
- giving him a unique perspective on the qualities of the human
spirit.
He also created and hosted TVNZ's first-ever mental health series,
The Inside Word.
