Definition

  • Al Jazeera, a Qatar-based satellite television news network, exemplifies the global expansion of information flow and illustrates the political impact that global media possess. Since its creation in 1996, Al Jazeera's Arabic channel has shown news consumers in the Arab world that they need not rely exclusively on Western media organizations, such as the BBC and CNN, particularly for news about themselves.
