Other speakers included; Ambassador Mohammad Sadiq, Secretary National Assembly Division, PM Secretariat; Lt. Gen. Javed Alam (Retd.), and Mr. Zahid Hussain, senior journalist. In his welcome remarks, Ambassador Masood Khan, Director General, ISSI, highlighted the various issues and challenges Pakistan was confronted with. Speaking about Afghanistan, he said that initially Islamabad was reluctant to get involved in the Afghan peace process. This was primarily because it did not want to instigate an Afghan civil war. However, the Pakistani government was persuaded to play a more instrumental role by the Afghan leadership – both present and their predecessors. He opined that Pakistan has always remained very steadfast and very committed to the peace process in Afghanistan.

  • Al-Jazeera, Phoenix Satellite Television and the Return of the State: Case Studies in Market Liberalization, Public Sphere and Media Imperialism
    International Journal of Communication 2 (2008), 206-222 1932-8036/20080206 Al-Jazeera, Phoenix Satellite Television and the Return of the State: Case studies in market liberalization, public sphere and media imperialism JOSEPH OLIVER BOYD-BARRETT SHUANG XIE Bowling Green State University The authors analyze two non-U.S. television systems, Al-Jazeera (based in Qatar) and Phoenix Satellite Television (based in Hong Kong, China), with reference to issues of market liberalization, public sphere, and media imperialism. Analysis of its origin and development, ownership, business models and programs suggests that Phoenix TV is a highly successful, China-oriented commercial venture. Inspired in part by the world’s most notorious media mogul, yet mostly compliant with a restrictive political environment, the station has transitioned from commercial, corporate ownership to an entity which state controlled entities have a significant, but not controlling ownership presence. Al-Jazeera started as a hybrid private-state entity, primarily oriented to the Arab and Islamic worlds and secondarily to a larger international audience interested in Arab and Islamic affairs. Its relatively aggressive editorial independence has occasionally alarmed — in diverse ways — domestic, regional and international elites. Its increasing commercial clout has been accompanied by notable adoption of British-style (BBC) formatting amid indications of greater state influence or control, at local and international levels, which may undermine its otherwise promising claim to a genuine public sphere function. By 2007, these two stations were both trending toward a model of Western-style formatting and greater commercial orientation, albeit within distinctive cultural frames. Additional content analysis will help assess whether the process of convergence with Western style entails enhanced “mainstreaming” in terms of content.

  • 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
    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.
