| Description: | Since its inception, Al-Jazeera has been the first satellite station to independently and objectively provide news and dialogues live in Arabic to its audience, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, and in the rest of the world. The depth of the influence that Al Jazeera has had on the Arab media scene has emerged since its early years, prompting many observers and media specialists to assert that Al Jazeera has changed the basic features of the Arab media and pushed it to greater freedom, independence and boldness. Al Jazeera has become a distinguished media school against which the performance of other media institutions in the region is measured. |
