The Al Jazeera Network will launch Al Jazeera International, a new English-language news and current affairs channel, on Nov. 15.
As the world's first international English-language news and current affairs channel headquartered in the Middle East, Al Jazeera International is uniquely positioned to reverse the information flow from South to North and to provide a voice to under-reported regions around the world, Al Jazeera says.
With broadcast centers strategically placed in Doha, Kuala Lumpur, London and Washington DC, and with supporting bureaus worldwide, Al Jazeera International is a new force in the global English-speaking media with the ability to seek out and cover different perspectives of news through on-the-ground reporting wherever news is made, the network adds.
