  • 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.

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.

  • Yeoman of the Guard Score Pdf
    Yeoman of the guard score pdf Continue For the British Military Corps, see Yeomen Guards. A scene from the 1906 film The Emename of the Guard D'Oily Carte The Revival of the Guard; or, Merriman and his maiden, is the Savoy Opera, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W.S. Gilbert. It premiered on October 3, 1888 at the Savoy Theatre and took place in 423 performances. It was the eleventh collaboration of the fourteenth between Gilbert and Sullivan. The opera is set in the Tower of London during the 16th century, and is the darkest, and perhaps most emotionally engaging, Savoy Opera, ending with a broken heart of the main character and two very reluctant commitments rather than the usual numerous marriages. The libretto contains considerable humor, including many pun-laden one-liners, but Gilbert's trademark satire and topsy-turvy plot complications are subdued compared to other Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Dialogue, though in prose, is quasi-Shakespearean, or early modern English, in style. Critics considered the score the best for Sullivan, including her overture, which is in the form of a sonata, instead of being written as successive pot-pourri tunes from the opera, as in most other overtures of Gilbert and Sullivan. It was the first Savoy Opera using a large Sullivan orchestra, including the second bassoon and the third trombone. Most of Sullivan's subsequent operas, including those not composed with Gilbert as a librettist, use this large orchestra. The background of the 1883 poster is similar to the one Gilbert said gave him inspiration for the opera When the previous Gilbert and Sullivan Opera, Ruddigore, finished his work at the Savoy Theatre, no new Gilbert and Sullivan opera was ready, and for nearly a year the stage was dedicated to reviving the old successes of H.M.S.

    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.
