Other than the first ref, which just gives her a passing mention, the others are all links to the program she hosts, and are therefore not independent of her. I cannot find enough about her anywhere to amount to "sufficient sources" to determine notability, and my feeling is that journalists (being in print / media all the time) don't really come into the category of sufficient coverage just because of that; it's hard to establish notability here.

 * Keep Presenting a news show on a major international news network makes her notable. The fact that there isn't a lot of personal information about her shows she is a private person but does not make her less notable. Viewers of her show who want to find out about her can find the available information here, however limited that info is, --filceolaire (talk) 22:55, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak keep - The proposer is correct in saying there are few independent sources that discuss her. On the other hand, she is a reporter (and it is noteworthy that she is a female reporter) at Al Jazeera, which is a very critical news agency. But absent more sources, she really is not very notable yet. --Noleander (talk) 01:30, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep – Per available reliable sources that establish notability of the topic. The guideline WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM is highly superior compared to deleting this article hastily. Northamerica1000 (talk) 12:55, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment – The topic also passes notability guidelines per WP:BIO notability for people, specifically the section WP:BASIC, “A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.” If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.” The topic passes WP:BIO, section WP:BASIC due to the availability of multiple independent sources which demonstrate notability and in the manner of which those sources are not comprised of trivial coverage.
