The Origins of Al Jazeera English

Abstract

What precipitates the launch of a global news network is an important question for international communication and globalization research and for anyone seeking to understand how news organizations work in the new global media environment. The early motivations often determine the reach, mission, journalistic culture, and longevity of any global media endeavor. And global news—the Al Jazeera Network, the BBC World Service, CNN International, Voice of America (VOA), to name just a few—represent the bedrock and most publicly recognized means of international communications. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
