Description

The Arab world is undergoing a significant media revolution, with privately-owned channels emerging to replace state-controlled media. This comprehensive analysis explores the broadcasting similarities and differences between Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, and Al-Hurra, focusing on their discursive practices and sociological aspects. The book examines the aims, objectives, and programmes of these channels, as well as their impact on the Arabic public sphere. It also compares their broadcasting strategies, programmes, and use of language, including case studies of their coverage of key events such as the 2006 conflict between Hezbollah and Israel and the period following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Written by El Mustapha Lahlali, a Senior Lecturer in Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Leeds, this book provides a critical overview of the development of Arab media.
