Becoming a global player |
| Al Jazeera’s main studio in Doha
From its headquarters in the Middle East, to its broadcast
centres and more than 70 bureaus around the world, Al
Jazeera strives to deliver content that captivates, informs
and inspires.
Through its multiple channels it now broadcasts to
over 310 million homes in more than 150 countries
worldwide. Driven by the desire to engage and connect
people, Al Jazeera is accessible almost anywhere in the
world through major free-to-air satellites, online, and on
multiple international airlines
Looking to the future
As the media landscape continues to evolve, and news
becomes increasingly driven by social media platforms,
Al Jazeera has maintained its place as a leader in
independent news production and distribution.
The organisation has undertaken several bold digital
and social media initiatives, with products such as
AJ+, the online news and current events channel, and
ContrastVR, the network’s new immersive studio.
These provide innovative and exciting ways for global
audiences to engage with news.
As Al Jazeera continues to grow, the values and
independence that underpin the channel’s work and
success will not change – they will simply be shared with
many more people around the world.
