Al Jazeera: The Inside Story of the Arab News Channel that is Challenging the West
September 26, 2007
I’ll be aggregating Al Jazeera English streams regularily because it’s one of the few English language video news outlets outside of the first world; you can take it with a grain of salt if you’d like. This Massachusetts School of Law video interview with author and fashion model Hugh Miles about his book is an ‘as good as any’ comprehensive introduction to the news network, despite being ‘annoyingly’ biased towards the Doha-based network.
A nice short read by the author published by Foreign Policy magazine outlining the history and global prospects of the network. The bibliography at the end provides an ample jumping off point if interested.
