    Durch die Umstellung des TV-Signals von Vodafon Kabel auf Privat Kabel ändert sich auch die Reihenfolge Ihrer Programme. Führen Sie deshalb bitte nach der Umstellung einen Sendersuchlauf durch, um alle Sender wie gewohnt empfangen zu können. Jedes TV-Geräte und jeder Receiver sind anders aufgebaut. Die wesentlichen Schritte sind aber auf allen Geräten ähnlich. Wenn Sie zum ersten Mal den Sendersuchlauf auf Ihrem Gerät starten, empfehlen wir die Bedienungsanleitung zur Hand zu nehmen. Die folgende Anleitung ist daher allgemein gehalten. Folgende Schritte sind immer zu beachten: Öffnen Sie über die Fernbedienung das Menü des Fernsehers oder des SAT-Receivers Bitte beachten Sie: Die Begriffe können sich von Gerät zu Gerät unterscheiden. Rufen Sie "Menü" oder "Home" auf Ihrem Fernseher oder Receiver auf Wählen Sie den Menüpunkt "Einstellungen" oder "Setup" Wählen Sie "Senderempfang" oder "Sendersuche". Die gängigsten Begriffe finden Sie hier. Wählen Sie „Automatischer Sendersuchlauf“ Wählen Sie nun die richtigen Einstellungen: Quelle: Kabel, Cable oder DVB-C Sendertyp: Digital, DTV Suchlaufmodus: Voll Suchbereich: Alle Sender Falls die gewünschten Sender nach dem Sendersuchlauf nicht erscheinen, auf die Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen. Bei einem Werksreset werden Sie vielleicht nach einem PIN gefragt – häufig lautet dieser 0000. Der Sendersuchlauf bzw. Werksreset kann einige Zeit dauern, 15 Min und länger. Sortieren Sie bei Bedarf an- schließend Ihre Lieblingssender wieder an den gewohnten Platz. Einige Anlagen haben zusätzlich einen Satelliten-Direkt-Empfang von Astra 19,2 Grad und Eutelsat 13 Grad (Hotbird). Wenn Sie diese Programme auch empfangen möchten, prüfen Sie ob Ihr Fernseher ein Triple Tuner hat (DVB-T2, DVB-C und DVB-S) und starten erneut den Sendersuchlauf mit geänderter Quelle jetzt DVB-S.

  • “The Voice of the Voiceless” News Production and Journalistic Practice at Al Jazeera English
    STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY Department of Social Anthropology “The Voice of the Voiceless” News production and journalistic practice at Al Jazeera English Emma Nyrén i Master’s thesis Spring 2014 Supervisor: Paula Uimonen Abstract This thesis explores how the cultural and social media environments surrounding the journalism of Al Jazeera English are shaped by and shape the channel’s news practices. Al Jazeera English has been described as a contra-flow news organization in the global media landscape and this thesis discusses the different reasons why the channel is described in this way by looking at its origins, aims, characteristics and ideals. Based on interviews with Al Jazeera English journalists, news observations and two field observations in London, I argue that Al Jazeera English brings cultural and social sensitivity to its news reports by engaging with multiple in-depth perspectives, using local reporters and integrating citizen generated material. The channel’s early adoption of online technologies and citizen journalism also contributes to a more democratic news direction and gives the channel a wider spectrum of opinions and perspectives to choose between. By applying a comparative analysis built on similar studies within anthropology of news journalism differences and similarities within the journalistic practices can be detected, comparing Al Jazeera English’s journalism with journalism at other places and news organizations. These comparisons and discussions enables new understandings for how news is produced and negotiated within the global media landscape, and this gives the global citizen an improved comprehension of why the news, which shapes our appreciation of the world, looks like it does.

  • Public Places of 2011– Reinventing the Story
    Public Places of 2011– Reinventing the Story An Analysis of Social Gatherings represented in Photographic Essays of Al Jazeera English Alexandra Gojowy Stockholm University Master of Arts 120ECTS Department of Journalism Media and Communication (JMK) Media and Communication Studies Spring Term 2015 Supervisor: Alexa Robertson, Hlazo Mkandawire Public Places of 2011- Reinventing the Story An Analysis of Social Gatherings as represented in Photographic Essays of Al Jazeera English Alexandra Gojowy Abstract Despite the emergence of new technologies and an existing scholarly debate around their ability to facilitate social gatherings, public places within cities did not cease to exist as important physical locations for society. This is powerfully illustrated by the year 2011, in which people gathered all around the globe, sometimes aiming to topple governments, sometimes demonstrating unity in times of crisis. What we learn about those places has been captured in visually compelling stories on the website of Al Jazeera English. This study explores the reinvention of social gatherings in public places through media narratives and what those can tell us about the events that inspire people to take to the streets and the others they encounter there. The theoretical discussion is organized around the social construction of public place and how global media affects the ways in which we perceive distant realities. Those two realms come together in the empirical analysis, which is based on 115 photo essays of 2011 by Al Jazeera English’s format “In Pictures”. The results indicate that Al Jazeera creates distinct media narratives, which sometimes challenge or reinforce audiences’ and researchers’ common perceptions of public place and contribute to an understanding of the intersecting realms of media, time and places in an untold story of 2011.

  • Islamism Within a Civil War: the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood's Struggle For
    RETHINKING POLITICAL ISLAM SERIES August 2015 Islamism within a civil war: The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood’s struggle for survival WORKING PAPER Raphaël Lefèvre, Carnegie Middle East Center SUMMARY: After 30 years in exile outside of Syria, the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood has become an important component of the western-backed Syrian opposition. Despite its influence, the expansion and radicalization of the Islamist scene in Syria challenges the legitimacy of the Brotherhood’s gradualist approach and constrains its presence on the ground. About this Series: The Rethinking Political Islam series is an innovative effort to understand how the developments following the Arab uprisings have shaped—and in some cases altered—the strategies, agendas, and self-conceptions of Islamist movements throughout the Muslim world. The project engages scholars of political Islam through in-depth research and dialogue to provide a systematic, cross-country comparison of the trajectory of political Islam in 12 key countries: Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Pakistan, as well as Malaysia and Indonesia. This is accomplished through three stages: A working paper for each country, produced by an author who has conducted on-the-ground research and engaged with the relevant Islamist actors. A reaction essay in which authors reflect on and respond to the other country cases. A final draft incorporating the insights gleaned from the months of dialogue and discussion. The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit organization devoted to independent research and policy solutions. Its mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations for policymakers and the public.

  • 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.
