Answer» What is Al Jazeera Media Network mean? Al Jazeera Media Network (AJMN) is a Qatari international public media conglomerate headquartered at Qatar Radio and Television Corporation Complex in Wadi Al Sail, Doha. It is the parent company of International Arabic news channel Al Jazeera and other similarly branded factual media operations. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel, it has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the internet and specialty television channels in multiple languages and beyond. The chairman is Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani. The acting director general is Mostefa Souag. The organisation is a "private foundation for public benefit" under Qatari law. Under this organisational structure, it receives funding from the State of Qatar but maintains that it is editorially independent. According to media scholar Tine Ustad Figenschou, Al Jazeera's independence is "relative and conditional." Critics have accused Al Jazeera of supporting the positions of the Qatari government. The network is sometimes perceived to have mainly Islamist perspectives, promoting the Muslim Brotherhood, and having a pro-Sunni and an anti-Shia bias in its reporting of regional issues. Al Jazeera has aired videos released by Osama bin Laden. The network's news operation currently has 70 bureaux around the world that are shared between the network's channels and operations, the second-largest amount of bureaux of any media company in the world after the BBC. In June 2017, the Saudi, Emirati, Bahraini, and Egyptian governments, supported by 12 other OIC member governments (with initial rumours claiming the support of additional governments; later reduced to 9 member governments by the latest of August 2019), pressed for the closure of the entire conglomerate as one of thirteen demands made to the government of Qatar during the Qatar diplomatic crisis. Other media networks have spoken out in support of the network. reference nan |
