This book presents a detailed study of the three dominant Arab media channels — Al-Jazeera, Al-Hurra and Al-Arabia — and their role post-9/11. 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. The book provides a critical overview of the development of Arab media; examines the aims and impact of Al-Jazeera, Al-Hurra and Al-Arabia, and compares their broadcasting strategies, programmes and use of language; and includes comparative case studies of the coverage of the 2006 conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and US foreign policy
