Al Jazeera English (AJE) is an international state-funded 24-hour English-language news and current affairs TV channel owned and operated by Al Jazeera Media Network, which is headquartered in Doha, Qatar. It is a sister channel of the U.S.-based English-language channel Al Jazeera America (AJAM), the Bosnia and Herzegovina-based multi-language Al Jazeera Balkans, and the original, Arabic-language, Al Jazeera (sometimes referred to as ''Al Jazeera Arabic''). The station broadcasts news features and analysis, documentaries, live debates, current affairs, business, technology, and sports, and claims to be the first global high-definition television network.〔("Al Jazeera International Commissioning" )〕 Al Jazeera English is the world's first English-language news channel to be headquartered in the Middle East.〔("Al-Jazeera Says Its English-Language News Channel Will Launch November 15" ) ''The Post-Star'', 1 November 2006〕 The channel aims to provide both a regional voice and a global perspective for a potential world audience of over one billion English speakers who do not share the Anglo-American worldview.〔Linda Tischler, ("Al Jazeera's (Global) Mission" ), ''Fast Company'', 1 April 2006〕 Instead of being run under one central command, news management rotates between broadcasting centers in Doha and London. At its launch, the station actually had four news centres in the world, in: Washington, D.C., London, Doha, and Kuala Lumpur. Complete news bulletins from Kuala Lumpur stopped on 30 September 2010 and from Washington DC on 28 January 2011; they were replaced by news from Doha. All news inserts from Kuala Lumpur ceased in early 2011 and from Washington DC they ceased on 15 April 2012. By contrast, Al Jazeera English is one of the few global media outlets to maintain an agency in Gaza, and in Harare. The network's stated objective is "to give voice to untold stories, promote debate, and challenge established perceptions."〔(Corporate Profile ) Al Jazeera English, 5 December 2010〕 ==Philosophy== Al Jazeera English has stated objectives of emphasizing news from the developing world, of "reversing the North to South flow of information" and of "setting the news agenda" (also the channel's slogan). Some observers, including media scholar Adel Iskandar, have commented that this focus can be seen, in the eyes of Western viewers, as casting Al Jazeera English as a global "alternative" news network, though the entire Al Jazeera brand has been heavily mainstream in many parts of the world.〔Adel Iskandar, ("Is Al Jazeera Alternative? Mainstreaming Alterity and Assimilating Discourses of Dissent" ), Transnational Broadcasting Studies Journal, 2005〕 Other Al Jazeera English slogans and catchphrases include: "All the News | All the Time", "Fearless Journalism" and "If it's newsworthy, it gets on air, whether it's Bush or Bin Laden". Al Jazeera's Code of Ethics mirrors some of these statements.〔(Code of Ethics ) Al Jazeera English〕 Award-winning creative teams shaped the English brand identity,〔("Al Jazeera English wins creative awards" ), MediaME,1 April 2007〕 the on-air studios and its "EVERY ANGLE | EVERY SIDE" promotional positioning, led by Director of Creative, Morgan Almeida, "to extend the Arabic heritage in a language familiar to diverse global audiences". 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「Al Jazeera English」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
