81. Author: Viola Sarnelli Title: Voices from the South: Al Jazeera English and News Flows Publisher: Photocity.it, Italy Year: 2014 Language: Italian
Description: ‘The Voice to the Voiceless’ is the slogan that accompanied the launch of Al Jazeera Media Network of its English channel (Al Jazeera English) in 2006, to present its audiences with a Middle Eastern perspective on the news, this time directly in English. In the post-11 September world, troubled with military and identity conflicts, Al Jazeera English introduced a conciliatory news model, far from sensationalism. A decentralized media operation, located in the ‘South’, emerged to counter the culturally and politically hegemonic ‘North’. This book explores the contradictory relationship between the channel and Anglo-American news models; between the broadcaster’s democratizing thrusts, as in the 2011 revolutions, and the policies of its financing state; between the Universalist aspirations and the new regionalism of transnational television stations. 82.
