William Youmans

An Unlikely Audience

Al Jazeera's Struggle in America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

No one could deny the impressive ambition of Al Jazeera English when it attempted, in 2013, to infiltrate the United States news market and become the first southern-global network to court a northern-global audience. In Al Jazeera in the United States, William Youmans explains what the seeming failure of the network's decade-long American enterprise reveals about the nature of global news, disputing long-held assumptions about global media in the digitalage.
