Al Jazeera itself recognized that if it were to expand its worldwide influence, it could not do so wholly in Arabic. And so, after several years of preparation, it launched Al Jazeera English, the first English-language news channel to be headquartered in the Middle East. With its principal broadcast centers in Doha, Washington, London, and Kuala Lumpur, the channel faced the task of proving itself to be more than a curiosity or a junior version of the BBC or CNN.Alternative URL
During its first months, Al Jazeera English seemed to be well on its way to defining its place in the market. The breadth of its coverage, particularly its emphasis on reporting from the South to the North, distinguished it from many of its competitors. Thorough coverage from the Middle East and from Africa provided a perspective that other major satellite channels had not offered their audiences.
Since then it has become catapulted around the world as a major source of non-Western news – a startling feat given the hitherto and seemingly entrenched Western monopoly of the international news marketplace. Its contribution to the transformation of broadcasting and journalism practices in many Arab states would be hard to over-estimate.Alternative URL
