Jane has been with Al Jazeera since September 2005, in the run-up to the launch of the station.[1][2]
She is based at the main broadcast-centre, in Doha in Qatar. Due to family commitments, she now specialises in studio-based journalism. She is one of the key anchors at the station and her work ranges from news-reading, to hosting studio-based interview programmes and to voice-overs and continuity.

As the host of studio-based talk-shows, Jane is a regular host of Inside Story, the daily programme that analyses a topical issue from the news, with the aid of guests from inside and outside the country in question. She is also a host for the weekly programme Inside Syria, that analyses recent developments in the war-torn country.
For the strand Talk to Al Jazeera, Jane travelled to interview the famously camera-shy President of Eritrea, Isaias Afewerki, his country's sole head of state since independence in 1991. The interview is an internet-favourite as the response to most of the questions was to denounce them as lies, without offering clarification or elaboration.
