Default Al Jazeera aims to go global - in English

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - Five years after Al Jazeera shot to public attention during the US invasion of Afghanistan, the Arab broadcaster is preparing to make more waves this spring when it launches a new channel - this time in English.

"A lot of people ask me if we're aiming at English-speaking Muslims," says Steve Clark, the new channel's director of news. "But we actually want to appeal to the whole English-speaking world and those who speak English as a second language."

The new channel, called Al Jazeera International, will begin broadcasting in late spring, offering a mix of hourly news bulletins and longer reports, bankrolled, like the original station, by the emir of the Persian Gulf state of Qatar.

The channel's mainly Western journalists promise to challenge existing stations such as CNN or BBC World.

They will take over american news stations.And it will be western journalists doing the reporting for them so everyone can see the real world and what is going on that they are not telling everyone on reg news.All I got to say if you don't like what they are reporting,it's your choice to push that little button and change the station......

I monitored the Al Jazeera website during the start of the incursion into Iraq , and I was pleasantly surprised to note a complete lack of "Yankee bashing" . On the whole their reporting was comparable to our own , and actually less inclined to bash our goobermint .

Johnny do you really think they will take over our news media? BBS would stand a far better chance of doing that.

Before the invasion, Al Jazeera was used as a source for much of the news coming out of the Middle East. After their coverage started reporting stories the administration didn't like and graphic pictures of civilian casualities they were vilified. Then came the word that Bush and Blair wanted to bomb them and that's where they stand now.
Each evening there is a news digest fromthe Middle East on the dish. It is intersting to see the coverage from some of the media outlets there.

So, in other words, news reporting won't change much....
