In this regard, we are looking for evidence to prove or deny any contra- dicting information. Eventually, we will keep all the information in the documentation files and make it accessible to researchers from now on. As for the different opinions, they belong to the individual discretion where each person interprets their perception of Al Jazeera based on their experience, information and understanding. We, in turn, do respect those different opinions out of our belief in our most prominent slogan of “The Opinion and the Other Opinion”. I seize this opportunity to thank the rest of the Committee col- leagues, whose names were not mentioned here. They offered valuable input and direct action in collecting information and documents, pro- viding advice, finding errors and proposing corrections. Our thanks also go to the proofreader and all of those who contributed to the tech- nical preparation of the content and took care of the format and designs. In conclusion, I extend special thanks to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani, who enthusiastically agreed to launch the Committee on Documenting the Al Jazeera Jour- ney project as part of the celebrations for Al Jazeera’s silver jubilee and appointed the committee members. He was never hesitant about providing the support and assistance we needed to complete this book and make it a success. Dr. Mostefa Souag Acting Director General, Al Jazeera Media Network Head of the Committee on Documenting Al Jazeera’s Journey July 2021
