About 2.8 million human rights for effective HIV responses. Today more than 89 people living with HIV are co-infected with hepatitis C virus countries have taken action to repeal or reform laws: some (HCV) and 2.6 million with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Globally, have repealed laws criminalizing HIV, same-sex relations, and more than 13 percent of people with TB tested for HIV drug possession, and others have enacted laws advancing received positive results, and TB is the leading cause of HIV- reproductive rights, sex education, and the human rights of related deaths.

  • 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.

With the opening in 2012 of Columbia Global Centers in Nairobi and Rio de Janeiro—joining existing centers in Amman, Beijing, Istanbul, Mumbai, Paris and Santiago—Columbia has established a full complement of eight Bollinger global centers on four continents and fulfilled the initial plan for the University’s new global infrastructure. This stage in the evolution of the Columbia Global Centers is a milestone that has long been understood to be critical to their success. The animating principle of the centers is to generate a multitude of academic partnerships across a global network anchored by our home campuses in New York City. The synergies in teaching and research that are made possible by the network’s diverse locations around the globe will, to a large degree, come to define Columbia’s newest frontiers of knowledge; and the discoveries that will result are extraordinarily exciting to contemplate.

The first batch of postgraduate students graduated in June 2013. We began our PhD programme in 2015. As Presidency College, we received a NAAC accreditation at the A+ level with an institutional score of 90.95. The history of our glorious institution extends from 1817 when we started as the Hindoo College.

    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.
