Summary:

The Arab world is currently undergoing a radical media revolution, with the launch of numerous satellite and cable channels. The era of state-controlled media is coming to an end as privately-owned channels emerge. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the broadcasting similarities and differences between Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya and Al-Hurra. It is distinct in its focus on both the discursive practices of these channels and the sociological aspects that contribute to their formation.

Contents:

1. Historical development of the Arab media

2. Globalization, democracy and the Arab media

3. Al-Jazeera, Al-Hurra and Al-Arabiya: Different Channels or three sides of the same triangle?
