Al Jazeera aims to go global - in English By James Brandon, Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
Tue Mar 14, 3:00 AM ET

Five years after Al Jazeera shot to public attention during the US invasion of Afghanistan, the Arab broadcaster is preparing to make more waves this spring when it launches a new channel - this time in English.

"A lot of people ask me if we're aiming at English-speaking Muslims," says Steve Clark, the new channel's director of news. "But we actually want to appeal to the whole English-speaking world and those who speak English as a second language."


I think this is a positive move. It will be interesting to see how the Arabic version compares to the English version.
