The Emir of Qatar H.H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Owner of Al-Jazeera International TheThe Al-JazeeraAl-Jazeera HALLHALL OFOF SHAMESHAME an Accuracy in Media publication www.aim.org Al-Jazeera International Hall of Shame These journalists have been inducted into the Al-Jazeera International “Hall of Shame” because they are identified in news reports as being employed by the English-language spin-off of the Qatar-funded Arabic Al-Jazeera, which has a despicable record of collaborating with anti-American radical Islamic terrorists. Al-Jazeera’s first managing director, Mohammed Jassem al-Ali, was exposed as an agent of the Saddam Hussein dictatorship; its Kabul, Afghanistan, bureau chief, Tayseer Alouni, was charged, convicted and sentenced to prison in Spain for being an agent of al Qaeda; and Al- Jazeera employee Sami al-Haj was captured in Afghanistan and is now in prison on terrorism charges. Captured terrorists in Iraq say they came to Iraq to kill Americans because of the words and images on Al-Jazeera. The Islamic Army of Iraq, a group that includes former members of Saddam Hussein's intelligence service, has praised Al-Jazeera for playing an “important role” in “our fight against the enemies.” The Islamic Army of Iraq is the same group that recently released video to CNN showing snipers shooting and killing American soldiers in Iraq.

Al Jazeera distributes terrorist propaganda throughout the Middle East. The Arab TV network earned its reputation as the mouthpiece of al Qaeda by broadcasting anti- American commentary and videotapes from Osama bin Laden. Now Al Jazeera’s message of hate may be transmitted directly to your television set. Its new English-language affiliate, Al Jazeera International, is negotiating for carriage on cable and satellite systems in the U.S. Do you want your cable or satellite subscription dollars to finance terrorist propaganda?

AIM editor Cliff Kincaid has appeared on NBC’s “Today Show” and Fox News’ “Dayside” and “Your World with Neil Cavuto” television programs to educate the public about Al-Jazeera’s new English-language channel. AIM’s efforts to keep AJI out of cable and satellite systems in the U.S. have been covered by the Associated Press, USA Today, The New York Sun, Forbes, The Washington Post, Newsday, Entertainment Weekly, and U.S. News and World Report, as well as London’s Press Gazette and the pan-Arab daily Asharq Alawsat. The channel encountered several delays in its official launch, apparently because the AIM campaign has complicated its efforts to get carriage by cable and satellite providers. AIM is urging a federal review of the channel's operations in the U.S. to determine if it poses a risk to the national security and whether it constitutes a global terrorist entity whose business operations on American soil must be stopped. Terror Television Documentary In May of 2006, AIM released a mini-documentary called “Terror Television: The Rise of Al-Jazeera and the Hate America Media.” This 20-minute film details how terrorist networks use Al-Jazeera to advance their anti-American agenda. Letters to Cable & Satellite Companies AIM editor Cliff Kincaid sent letters to senior executives at the top 25 U.S. cable companies, as well as satellite providers DirecTV and EchoStar Communications, urging them not to carry Al-Jazeera International. Public Opinion Poll Accuracy in Media commissioned an independent poll, released on September 13th, which found that Americans oppose the channel coming into their homes through U.S. cable and satellite systems by a margin

Ideologically, it is founded on a claim to norms and a code of ethics, but in the past, news media also held material control over mass communication through broadcast and print which were largely inaccessible to most citizens. The Internet and social media has created a news environment where professional journalists and their work exist side-by-side with non-journalists. In this space, acts of journalism also can be and are carried out by non-journalists.

    Perugia, 7 Marzo 2016 Come and Join Us! Con Questo Invito Abbiamo

    Perugia, 7 marzo 2016 Come and join us! Con questo invito abbiamo lanciato la decima edizione del Festival Internazionale del Giornalismo. Perché per noi il giornalismo è principalmente partecipazione e conversazione. E il Festival vuole celebrare proprio questo aspetto in occasione della sua edizione 2016. La voglia di confrontarsi, il bisogno di raccontare storie, l’importanza fondamentale di condividere esperienze sono come sempre la cifra distintiva del Festival. Dove sta andando il giornalismo? Stiamo vivendo quello che potremmo definire uno stato di rivoluzione permanente. Un modello di business definitivamente in crisi, diversi modelli da sperimentare e diverse concezioni del giornalismo messe continuamente alla prova. Fact-checking, data journalism, explanatory journalism, il ruolo giornalistico delle piattaforme, paywall vs crowdfunding, l’era dei video e del mobile, robot journalism, realtà virtuale, il coinvolgimento dei lettori e il ruolo civico dell’informazione, la crisi dell’homepage, alla ricerca della “nuova” obiettività, il giornalismo mobile first, capire l’audience oltre le metriche, social networks vs media mainstream: ultimo atto, il caso Spotlight e il potere del giornalismo di cambiare le cose. Il pubblico e gli speaker in arrivo da tutto il mondo saranno impegnati ad affrontare questi temi che riguardano strettamente la riflessione giornalistica, ma anche tematiche legate all’attualità: i migranti, le guerre, il terrorismo, la rinascita dei nazionalismi, l’Europa in crisi e le nuove sfide della democrazia, la privacy e la sorveglianza di massa, la libertà di espressione e la lotta contro la censura, il ruolo delle organizzazioni non governative nel coprire territori di guerra. Come sempre arriveranno da tutto il mondo i volontari, 194 fra studenti, aspiranti giornalisti, fotografi provenienti 19 diversi paesi: Brasile, Bulgaria, Camerun, Egitto, Francia, Germania, Grecia, India, Iraq, Italia, Kenya, Lituania, Regno Unito, Russia, Slovenia, Spagna, Sri Lanka, Stati Uniti, Ungheria.

Parole che prendono forma e creano immagini precise, pro- iezioni di fantasie inaspettate. Perché questo è ciò che accade. Per un tem- po dilatato siamo ciò che leggiamo o ascoltiamo, protagonisti e spettatori, complici e schierati, figure sullo sfon- do e osservatori attenti. Sentiamo e pensiamo in modo inconsueto, camminiamo leggeri in una dimensione evanescente che ci sembra incredibilmente reale. Siamo quella storia. Felici di esserla. E’ però necessario lasciare liberi i sensi e leggera la mente, sapere ascol- tare e non avere timore di perdersi fra confini invisibili e spazi infiniti, fra vicoli stretti e nuovi incontri, pro- fumo di mirto e storie di vita.

  • Al Jazeera's Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia

    Al Jazeera's Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia

    Al Jazeera’s Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia PhD thesis by publication, 2017 Scott Bridges Institute of Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ABSTRACT Al Jazeera was launched in 1996 by the government of Qatar as a small terrestrial news channel. In 2016 it is a global media company broadcasting news, sport and entertainment around the world in multiple languages. Devised as an outward- looking news organisation by the small nation’s then new emir, Al Jazeera was, and is, a key part of a larger soft diplomatic and brand-building project — through Al Jazeera, Qatar projects a liberal face to the world and exerts influence in regional and global affairs. Expansion is central to Al Jazeera’s mission as its soft diplomatic goals are only achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of the state benefactor, much as a commercial broadcaster’s profit is achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of advertisers. This thesis focuses on Al Jazeera English’s non-conventional expansion into the Australian market, helped along as it was by the channel’s turning point coverage of the 2011 Egyptian protests. This so-called “moment” attracted critical and popular acclaim for the network, especially in markets where there was still widespread suspicion about the Arab network, and it coincided with Al Jazeera’s signing of reciprocal broadcast agreements with the Australian public broadcasters. Through these deals, Al Jazeera has experienced the most success with building a broadcast audience in Australia. After unpacking Al Jazeera English’s Egyptian Revolution “moment”, and problematising the concept, this thesis seeks to formulate a theoretical framework for a news media turning point.

    New Trends in Global Broadcasting: "Nuestro Norte Es El Sur” (Our North Is the South)

    Orayb Najjar Associate Professor Dept. of Communication Northern Illinois University DeKalb, IL 60115 New Trends in Global Broadcasting: "Nuestro Norte es el Sur” (Our North is the South) Abstract Using Pierre Bourdieu’s Field Theory, especially the concept of the interconvertability of cultural, economic, political and media capital, I examine the rise of regional and global centers of broadcasting that seek to compete with the CNN and the BBC, namely, TeleSUR of Latin America, Al-Jazeera Arabic, and Al-Jazeera International (AI) of Qatar (launched worldwide on November 15, 2006). I also describe the Latin American and Arab questioning of the inevitability of following “the Anglo- 2 Saxon” model of “commercialization, depolitization and trivialization of news.” I examine the countermeasures the U.S., British and French governments are taking to fend off this regional and global competition from Latin American and Arab media.1 I conclude that diversity and the expansion of the news pie is a healthy phenomenon that is bound to help serious news gathering and reporting worldwide against the rising trend of infotainment that has started to taint serious news dissemination in the United States. New Trends in Global Broadcasting: "Nuestro Norte es el Sur” (Our North is the South) “Television is a window on the world. But if you are sitting in Latin America, that window is more likely to be facing Baghdad than Buenes Aires. Or show Michael Jackson instead of Mexico City. Or offer a clearer view of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution than the one in Ecuador last month. Those networks do not cover regional news, like CNN Espanol, based in Atlanta, or Spain’s TVE, are often considered US or Eurocentric, with pundits sitting in Washington or Madrid.
