67. Author: Sonja Lindenberg Title: Al Jazeera: The Arab Satellite Channel and the International News Business Publisher: GRIN Verlag GmbH, Germany Year: 2012 Language: German
Description: Al Jazeera Arabic has broadcast messages from Osama bin Laden, as well as exclusive images from Afghanistan and reports about the Iraqi war in 2003. The channel’s reporting is controversial: the USA in particular has accused the channel of sympathizing with terrorists and of broadcasting the voice of extremist opinions. With reference to these allegations, the book analyses the channel’s potential in the international news media market. Political-economic approaches and cultural studies within the context of international communication are examined in this volume. The channel has demonstrated improvement in four areas, including market establishment and expansion. Taking into consideration economic and technical aspects, in addition to political and cultural ones, the conclusion is that Al Jazeera Arabic has a market in the news business. 68. Author: Megan Zingarelli Title: The CNN Effect and the Al Jazeera Effect in Global Politics and Society Publisher: Proquest, Umi Dissertation Publishing, US Year: 2012 Language: English Description: This book investigates how global media such as CNN and Al Jazeera, increasingly influence and illuminate global politics and society. The book investigates the historical and intellectual foundations for the CNN Effect and the Al Jazeera Effect. It shows that the CNN Effect and Al Jazeera Effect are growing in influence. They apply pressure on world leaders to address problems in society. They also offer increasing avenues to stir public opinion and allow viewers, listeners and readers to participate in discussions of national and international consequence. While international media can increase dialogue and mutual understanding, on occasion they can also lead to global conflict and misunderstanding. By examining this paradoxical situation, the work sheds light on the complex nature of our increasingly globalized society.
