Publisher Description: A balanced introduction to the 3 major Arab media channels: Al-Jazeera, Al-Hurra and Al-Arabia. 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 detailed study of the three dominant Arab media channels and their role post-9/11.
