This book analyzes how and why Al Jazeera English (AJE) became the
channel of choice to understand the massive protests across the
Arab world 2011. Aiming to explain the 'Al Jazeera moment,' it
tracks the channel's bumpy road towards international recognition
in a longitudinal, in-depth analysis of the channel's editorial
profile and strategies. Studying AJE from its launch in
mid-November 2006 to the 'Arab Spring', it explains and
problematizes the channel's ambitious editorial agenda and
strategies, examines the internal conflicts, practical challenges
and minor breakthroughs in its formative years. The Al
Jazeera-phenomenon has received massive attention, but it remains
under-researched. The growth of transnational satellite television
has transformed the global media landscape into a complex web of
multi-vocal, multimedia and multi-directional flows. Based on a
combination of policy-, production- and content analysis of
comprehensive empirical data the book offers an innovative
perspective on the theorization of global news contra-flows. By
problematizing the distinctive characteristics of AJE, it examines
the strategic motivation behind the channel and the ways in which
its production processes and news profile are meant to be different
from its Anglo-American competitors. These questions underscore a
central nexus of the book: the changing relationship between
transnational satellite news and power.
