Brief arrest of six of its reporters in Cairo, satellite truck attacked by demonstrators Sunnis in Tripoli, Lebanon, the fury of the Palestinian Authority after the publication of "Palestine Papers revealed by Wikileaks ... The Qatari information continuously Al-Jazeera mind, and since the fall of the regime of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia - it was intensely covered despite the difficulties on the ground (see our article on monitoring the Revolution Tunisian Al-Jazeera) - scares many Arab regimes.
At the first indication in Egypt from January 25, a TV reporter commented live police brutality against demonstrators and stressed: "The team of Al-Jazeera is not spared from these events. Our cameraman Mohamed Al- Arabi was arrested by police and forfeited his equipment. The authorities seized his images showing clashes between police and protesters.
" Monday, six journalists from the English version of Al Jazeera were briefly arrested by the authorities. One of them, Dan Nolan, told Live Twitter his arrest: "We do not know if we just stopped or about to be returned. We are six trapped by the army, the outside the Hilton Hotel. Our equipment was seized.
"And to clarify a few hours later:" Four soldiers came into our room, armed with AK-47, casually swinging their bayonets while they carried cameras. "Wednesday, during a day of violent clashes between supporters and opponents of the regime, several foreign journalists have been targeted.
Thursday morning, the journalist of Al-Jazeera told Adam Makary on Twitter: "Thugs and prevent foreign journalists from entering site Tahrir, I saw some soldiers to arrest. "Despite the difficulties of field operation, Al-Jazeera has continued its coverage of events in Egypt. Mobile's office in Cairo were cut? reporters found alternative means of remote transmission.
Journalists were barred from entering Egyptian territory? The chain provided additional information and images from those sent by Internet users via Twitter or YouTube. Its signal has been scrambled? Presenters clarified on what satellite channel viewers could turn in case of transmission interrupted, other channels of the bouquet Nilesat having shown solidarity with Al-Jazeera.
The Qatari has a force of its difficulties in production and broadcasting, presenting themselves as the champion of democracy against autocratic regimes. In an article published on the Huffington Post, CEO of Al-Jazeera, Wadah Kanfar, said that the "ultimate goal" of the string is "to paint a fuller picture of the realities of the Middle East.
We believe that many informed people can make better choices - choices that will hopefully lead to a peaceful and democratic future. " These lofty ambitions, however, can be hazardous. "We must be careful, recently told the New York TimesMohammed Krichen, Tunisian journalist from Al Jazeera.
We can not think that our role is to liberate the Arab people from oppression. But we can not ignore movements popular. " The chain, which half the capital is owned by the emirate of Qatar, it serves the interests of its owner? Al-Jazeera was launched in 1996 with the aim of placing the influence of this small country wedged geographically between two giants, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
According to a diplomatic cable revealed by Wikileaks in December, U.S. Ambassador to Qatar Joseph LeBaron, wrote in June 2009 that "the ability to influence Al-Jazeera on public opinion in the region represents an important lever for Qatar "and that the chain is" the diplomatic and political tool the country's most valuable.
" But the diplomat also explained in the same note that "coverage of events in the Middle East through the chain is relatively free and open, although Al Jazeera is careful not to criticize Qatar and the government." In many cases, whether the Lebanese political crisis and the blockade of Gaza, Al-Jazeera has been accused of too often open its microphones to the Islamists - Hezbollah in Lebanon or Hamas in Gaza.
But the channel also broadcasts the official viewpoint, and these days, for example, has given voice to officials of the regime of Hosni Mubarak. Al-Jazeera, however, has made a specialty of Use polyptych (split-screen mode, or split screen), which can offer a point against the official discourse.
We saw the same screen and the images broadcast by the Egyptian state television, Friday, January 28, showing a tranquil view of Cairo at night during curfew, juxtaposed with the image of a police car attacked by a crowd of demonstrators. The split screen technique was also used to retransmit the intervention of U.S.
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, the same evening, and swing-cons and diplomatic discourse, confronted with images of the street. By using these specific techniques (split screen, speaking live from our reporters, use of videos uploaded by users), Al-Jazeera helps shape the narrative of this "winter Arabic." "The string is nevertheless 'so 2005', notes the analyst Marc Lynch, of Foreign Policy magazine.
But it is by far the medium most watched and most influential Arab world." With 40 million viewers, the channel has established a framework within which can be interpreted revolts Tunisian, Egyptian and Algerian maybe tomorrow or Yemen. "An event does not speak of himself," says Marc Lynch.
For it acquires a political meaning, it must be contextualized and interpreted. The Arabs have collectively realized that the events [Amman, Tunis, Algiers and Sana'a] s were part of a larger narrative of popular protest of the authoritarian regimes of the Arab and American diplomacy that supports them.
