A nostalgic video from 2003 has surfaced, showing Amalia Doar at the age of 13, long before she became a prominent figure on Channel 12 News. In the footage, Doar, then working for the Children's Channel, is seen reporting from the studios of Channel 2 News about their preparations for election night.
Doar, then a young reporter, addressed the camera, stating, "The Second Channel also wants you to watch it and only it." She promised to investigate "what the news company is doing to ensure you have the best of the best." During her visit, she met Gadi Suknik, a senior news anchor at the time, and confidently asked him about the competitive strategies of different channels for election coverage, specifically mentioning Channel 10's poll at Azrieli Towers and Channel 1's approach at polling stations.
Suknik explained Channel 2's polling methods and the news division's preparations, which included mobile and satellite units to ensure rapid information delivery. Doar concluded her report by holding a remote control and telling viewers, "All that's left for you is to choose."
Even at that young age, Doar had prior media experience, having hosted the "Five Thirty" broadcast on the Children's Channel alongside Yaron London and worked as a guest reporter for "Maariv LaNoar." She later joined Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) in 2008, covering various beats including media, transportation, aviation, tourism, and law, while also anchoring news bulletins and economic segments. In 2011, she moved to Channel 2 News, now Channel 12 News, where she has since become a leading reporter and presenter.
