摘要：Some scholars argue that following 9/11, Al-Jazeera has promoted an Arab perspectiveof events in the US by exporting its news materials to the US news market. The study examines thevalidity of this argument through a review of the literature on the issue during three successive periodsof US-Al-Jazeera interactions: (a) Al-Jazeera Arabic’s representation in US mainstream mediafollowing 9/11, specifically during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; (b) Al-Jazeera English televisionchannel’s attempts to enter the US market since 2006; and (c) the reception of Al-JazeeraAmerica in the US, where the paper also adds an original analysis of Al-Jazeera America’s Twitterfollowers’ profiles. Together, these analyses provide strong counterevidence to the argument thatAl-Jazeera was able to promote an Arab perspective of events in the US.
