Al-Jazeera

Al-Jazeera
http://www.aljazeera.net


quote:
Al-Jazeera, a satellite news agency based in Qatar, is an unusually independent voice in the Arab world. It has been called “the Arab CNN.� It planned to launch an English version of its site by the end of March. But the network's Web site suffered denial-of-service attacks and hacking since it showed pictures of dead and captive U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Now, both the English and the Arabic versions of the site are down. But, they could come back at any time.
from:http://www.infotoday.com/newsbreaks/nb030331-1.shtml

now, i didnt find out about this until i read about it in 2600, can someone pleaze explain what happened, and if it was even on the news?

doesnt seem like anyone realy cares, but maybe they shouldnt cuz' they suposedly broke the "rules of war" by showing the footage.

but seriously, if i were to try to find some news coverage (obviously NOT form a western source)about Iraq, the WTC attacks and the middle-east, where would be a good place to look on the net?

or do i have to learn arabic to get the full story?

Quite right ... I kept reading all those news stories about mirrors that were up and running.

But I guess they didn't officially launch the new and secure site until later ...

yes there was mirrors, but the links weren't spread, if you knew a friend who got the address to one of them, you were lucky and kept it to yourself...

anyways, from seeing many reportages on al-jazeera (made by British, French and Canadian TV), I can tell you that the guys working over there are incredible and have journalism to the heart. They have nothing to do with Govt. controlled medias or private (and influenced) medias.

Al Jazeera is not only an Arabic phenomenon, their news cast are translated in many languages daily and broadcast around the world. (for example, a Japanese tv station rebroadcast 4h of Al Jazeera tv everyday). Translation is not done by Al Jazeera, but by host channels.
