Reviews
"Al Jazeera English is a contradiction in terms: an Arab government-financed channel that is pioneering borderless journalism and has cemented its reputation covering Arab revolutions. Seib and his collaborators elegantly capture the complexity, showing us there is no black & white in the AJE newsroom or in its unique role in global media politics."
- Larry Pintak, founding dean, The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, Washington State University and author, The New Arab Journalist
"Al Jazeera English: Global News in a Changing World shines much-needed light on the rise and impact of the Al Jazeera global news phenomenon. Impressively weaving together the perspectives of journalism, politics, international relations, political economy, international communications, and media and audience studies, the essays in this book provide a broad yet deep and critical context to understand the controversies that have accompanied both Al Jazeera Arabic and Al Jazeera English since the start of their operations in 1996 and 2006 respectively. This book will be an eye-opener not only for the readers who wish to learn more about the channel that brought to the world the voices and images of the Arab spring, but also for those who want to understand the way global news and journalism are shaping the future of international politics."
- Cristina Archetti, lecturer in Politics and Media, University of Salford (UK)
"Al Jazeera English has cemented itself as a vital connection between English-speaking audiences and global news events. While many commentators and pundits struggle to come to grips with this new competitor in the global news market, Philip Seib has brought together a group of scholars who deliver a realistic assessment of the reporting, finances, and politics that lie behind Al Jazeera English news. This book helps us know more about the shifting patterns of credibility and trust in global media and politics."
- Ben O'Loughlin, professor of International Relations, Royal Holloway, University of London
