Al Jazeera English (AJE; Arabic: الجزيرة, romanized: al-jazīrah, lit. 'the Peninsula', pronounced [æl (d)ʒæˈziːrɐ]) is a 24-hour English-language news channel operating under Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partially funded by the government of Qatar. Al Jazeera introduced an English-language division in 2006. It is the first global English-language news channel to be headquartered in the Middle East.[3]

Al Jazeera is known for its in-depth and frontline reporting particularly in conflict zones[4][5] such as the Arab Spring, the Gaza–Israel conflict and others.[6][7][5][8] Al Jazeera's coverage of the Arab Spring won the network numerous awards, including the Peabody Award.[4][9] It positions itself as an alternative media platform to the dominance of Western media outlets like CNN and BBC, focusing on narrative reporting where subjects present their own stories.[10]
