Description

A balanced introduction to the 3 major Arab media channels: Al-Jazeera, Al-Hurra and Al-Arabia.

The Arab world is currently undergoing a radical media revolution, with the launch of numerous satellite and cable channels. The era of state-controlled media is coming to an end as privately-owned channels emerge. This book presents a detailed study of the three dominant Arab media channels and their role post-9/11.

  • Provides a critical overview of the development of Arab media
  • Examines the aims and impact of Al-Jazeera Arabic, Al-Hurra and Al-Arabia, and compares their broadcasting strategies, programmes and use of language
  • Includes comparative case studies of the coverage of the 2006 conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and US foreign policy
