AL-JAZEERA: HOW ARAB TV NEWS CHALLENGEDTHE WORLD
Book ID/图书代码： 00200005B03390
English Summary/英文概要： With more than fifty million viewers, Al-Jazeera is one of the most widely watched news channels in the world. And it’s one of the most controversial. Set up by the maverick Emir of Qatar, Al-Jazeera quickly became a household name in the West after September 11, by delivering some of the biggest scoops in television history, including airing a taped speech from Osama bin Laden. Lambasted as a mouthpiece for Al-Qaeda, its journalists have been accused of spying for everyone from Mossad to Saddam Hussein – sometimes simultaneously. Now Hugh Miles uncovers the true story behind one of the world’s most influential media outlets.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是奥萨马-本-拉登钟爱的电视媒体网络，沙特阿拉伯指责它“用银盘端上了一道毒药”。布什政府没能把它关掉，所以决心把这个电视台给炸了，电台的特派通讯员不是被暗杀了就是被关在关塔那莫海军基地，要么就是在阿布扎比接受严刑拷打。
卡塔尔“半岛”电视台有超过五千万人的收视群体，堪称全球最受欢迎的新生代电台之一，当然“半岛”也是最受争议的一个。半岛电台的创建者是一位卡塔尔的怪才酋长，在9/11事件之后，电台因抢先报道了电视新闻史上最爆料的几条新闻而迅速走红西方世界，成为家喻户晓的名字，其中最引人关注的一条新闻就是，播放了一盘本拉登的讲话录音。半岛电台的记者们一直被谴责是基地组织的喉舌，经常被指责搞间谍活动，为摩萨德、萨达姆等效力。今天，HUGH MILES要揭开这个全世界最有影响力的媒体的真实故事。
近几年，半岛频道始终站在风口浪尖，所以他们报道更多地折射出了一个混沌地区的动荡不安-----因为他们身处其境。Hugh Miles透露说，半岛电台向美国证明了阿拉伯世界的人民有多仇恨他们，此外，该电台向阿拉伯世界宣扬的民主----或者说民主世界的理念----比起任何一个自称是民主大国的国家来说，有过之而无不及
