AJ+ is an all-digital news and current events channel by Al Jazeera Media Network (AJMN). The service is available on its mobile app (iOS and Android), YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter with written content on Medium. An Arabic-language version is under construction and a Spanish-language version is currently live. Work on the channel started in December 2012, shortly after Al Jazeera established an office in San Francisco. The first YouTube channel was created on December 17, 2013, after a year of preparation in response to increasing popularity of online news content among young people. The channel then had a soft launch on June 13, 2014. A full launch followed on September 15, 2014. ==Format== Aj+ produces digital video and media directly to social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram) and through native apps on mobile devices (iOS and Android). AJ+ is separate from Al Jazeera's other cable and satellite news channels, though it shares the network's current 82 bureaus with the other channels. The channel is headquartered in San Francisco, California, in the expanded former headquarters and studio of Current TV. The channel has branch offices in Doha, Qatar, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Kuala Lumpur and Nairobi. It also collects and creates content through freelancers in other areas of interest. Despite being based in the United States, the content of the channel is formatted for a global audience similar to Al Jazeera English. The channel has no hosts or anchors, and live reporting plays a lesser role. Most content is available on demand. AJ+ offers news coverage from around the world, and also cover verticals like lifestyle, culture and technology with very little text. Its videos range from 15 seconds to 10 minutes. The channel is currently experimenting with various storytelling formats. It supports a high level of user interactions in the app and its Facebook and Twitter platforms as well. There is also a test Spanish version of the channel based out of San Francisco. Arabic- and Turkish-language versions of the channel have been discussed, with the Arabic version under development. Videos from the channel are occasionally featured on the Al Jazeera English and America websites as an further in-depth feature of that website if the site is covering the same topic.〔http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/10/28/hong-kong-studentsdemonstratetheartofprotest.html〕〔http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/12/2/india-disaster-bhopal.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AJ+」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
