Jad Ghosn (Arabic: جاد غصن; born 23 August 1986) is a Lebanese left-leaning journalist and news reporter. He worked for OTV from 2012 to 2013 and Al Jadeed from 2013 to 2020.
In 2020, he signed a contract with Saudi-owned Asharq tv channel,[2] but he was discharged because of older comments criticizing the Saudi government and the House of Saud.[3][4][5][6] He has been working since then independently on his YouTube channel.[7]
On 8 March 2022, Jad Ghosn announced his candidacy for one of the Maronite seats in Mount Lebanon II - Metn, running as a candidate of Citizens in a State.[8] He lost the Lebanese parliamentary elections to the Lebanese Forces candidate Razi El Hage.[9] Ghosn appealed to the Constitutional Council against El Hage but was rejected.[10]
