Seth Doane is a CNN Video News Correspondent based in New Delhi, India. Doane, the son of former Republican Massachusetts Senator Paul Doane was born and raised in Harwich, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. He graduated from Harwich High School in 1996 and then went on to the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Communication in 2000, and was hired almost immediately by WNYW, New York's Fox affiliate, as a Field Producer. Channel One News, the high school TV network, then made him a news anchor, sending him abroad to cover stories in San Salvador, Indonesia, Afghanistan, and the Sudan. At age twenty-three, Doane was nominated for an Emmy at WNYW for his "School Security" segment, in which he went undercover to expose the lack of security at schools throughout Manhattan.

Doane won a Peabody Award in 2004 for his series on the Sudan.

In April 2006 CNN hired Doane as a special video news correspondent.
