  • 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.

    ALJAZEERA ON YOUTUBE™: A CREDIBLE SOURCE IN THE UNITED STATES? By EISA AL NASHMI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Eisa Al Nashmi 2 I came to the United States 11 years ago in pursuit of an education and my journey ends with this dissertation. My faith, my family and my love of my country have certainly kept me going throughout. To Allah for all the blessings He has bestowed upon me. To my family for their patience while I was away To Kuwait for believing in me and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime I hope I made everyone proud. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to begin by thanking my committee members for their continuous support and guidance. I would like to thank my chair, Dr. Johanna Cleary, for motivating me and being there whenever I needed her. Most of my Ph.D. friends were jealous of me because of how amazing she was. Her kindness, patience and trust in her students are attributes that I hope to follow in my future career at Kuwait University. I was fortunate to have her as my chair and I really appreciate everything she has done for me. I would like to thank professor Melinda McAdams for being part of my academic life since the beginning of master‘s degree. In the past six years, she has taught me most of what I know about new media and has inspired me with her expertise and teaching style.

    The "Mouthpiece of al Qaeda" That's Giving a "Voice to the Voiceless" in the Southern Hemisphere An Analysis of Al Jazeera English's Reporting on U.S. Relations with Afghanistan and Pakistan Gabrielle Vail Gorder American University Senior Capstone Spring ’10 University Honors in Journalism Advisor: Prof. Bill Gentile April 25, 2010 0 INTRODUCTION What is Al Jazeera English? Well, that depends on whom you ask. If you ask the Director General of the Al Jazeera Network, Wadah Khanfar, he’ll describe the network as a “voice for the voiceless...a diverse, reflection of the collective mind of the nations and cultures and civilizations...a bridge of dialogue.” 1 However, if you ask FOX News terrorism analyst Walid Phares, he’ll tell you that Al Jazeera English is part of “a militant institution that wants to convey an ideological jihadi message.” 2 The New York Times has hailed the Al Jazeera Network as “the kind of television station we should encourage.” 3 But despite winning a multitude of international television and journalism awards, including “Best 24 Hour News Program” and “Service of the Year,” 4 some non-profit media watchdog organizations, like the conservative Accuracy in Media group, call Al Jazeera English a “terrorist propaganda channel” and “a mouthpiece for enemies of the United States.” 5 It’s been called “Osama bin Laden’s network,” 6 yet reputable international non-governmental organizations like the Committee to Project Journalists and Reporters Without Borders have backed the rights of the network and its journalists.

Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………33 ABSTRACT The atrocities of armed conflicts such as those in Israel’s Gaza Strip and the Darfur region of Sudan are not reaching and affecting Westerners as clearly and potently as they should, considering the technological capabilities of today’s international news media. In this paper, I will argue that media coverage of armed conflict in the developing world is stifled by the politics of international and transnational news media organizations and the unique challenges and limitations to local news organizations at the site of conflict. Private interests, financial constraints, and physical and political limitations cause global media to emphasize mainly the violent phase of conflict instead of the build up and reconstruction, reducing public attention on prevention and long-term needs. Local media faces different challenges like governmental manipulation, lack of resources, and safety hazards.

  • How Arabic Is Al-Jazeera English
    How Arab is Al-Jazeera English? 1 Running head: HOW ARAB IS AL-JAZEERA ENGLISH? How Arab is Al-Jazeera English? Comparative Study of Al-Jazeera Arabic and Al-Jazeera English News Channels Abeer I. al-Najjar Department of Mass Communication American University of Sharjah How Arab is Al-Jazeera English? 1 Abstract This paper aims to identify the similarities and differences between Al-Jazeera English (AJE) and Al-Jazeera Arabic (AJA) according to their representation by country and region on the one hand and story placement and story type on the other. Particular attention is given to the Arab countries and the region of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The study analyzes the content of the main evening (KSA time) news bulletins of the two channels over a six-month period (November 2006 – May 2007), in which 477 news stories are examined. The newscasts of AJE and AJA are analyzed over two rolling weeks and two constructed weeks. How Arab is Al-Jazeera English? 1 Introduction Al-Jazeera International [English] wants nothing less than to break the Western monopoly on the telling of history, by expanding the spectrum of perspectives participating in English language discussion of world issues. [It] aspires instead to create a global channel with a target audience of the planet’s English speakers. (Malek, 2006, p.11). AJE is thought to have the capacity to reach 100 million households worldwide in 60 countries (Gibson, 2007; Mio TV, 2008). In less than two years, the viewership of AJE has reached 110 million households (MySinchew, July 30, 2008).

  • Rosser Reunited with Fiancee
    -* ■ James Madison University Monday, April 6,1987 Vol. 64 No. 48 Rosser reunited with fiancee By Martin Romjue news editor DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT — He stood alone in front of the arrival gate holding a long white box of a dozen red roses. He then disappeared around a corner, and returned with the box on one arm and his Soviet fiancee on the other. For JMU economics professor J. Barkley Rosser, the disappointment of a three-year separation from his Soviet fiancee came to an end Saturday at 5 p.m. as he walked with his arm around her out of the customs inspection area. "It took me three years and one day to travel this distance," said Marina Vcherashnaya, Rosser's fiancee, at an airport press conference following her arrival. "I'm completely confused," she said. Overwhelmed by her reunion with Rosser, the media attention and a long flight from Moscow, Vcherashnaya said "I can't find a proper word, I can't find a proper word," to describe how she felt. "It came quite unexpectedly," Vcherashnaya said of the resolution of her blocked marriage case. "But I was always afraid that something would turn out at the latest minute," she said of her fears that makers wouldn't work out. "I didn't feel like I was flying until I left Frankfurt (West Germany). "Everything went quite smoothly," Vcherashnaya said of her departure from the Soviet Union Saturday morning. Rosser and Vcherashnaya's separation is the first blocked marriage case to be resolved between the United States and the Soviet Union.
