International News

1. I think that the internet is pretty much the only way Al Jazeera will reach the United States audience right now. Instead of actually giving this type of news a chance I feel that people will hear the name and already have their minds made up. Other than the few places that are broadcasting this news channel, only people who are curious and give Al Jazeera a chance will be able to be reached using the internet. I honestly feel that this news channel only has the choice at this point in time to air on the internet, because people will not give it a chance when they know nothing about it other than the bad stuff that we have heard of.

2. Based on my observations and what I have watched, I think it should be broadcasted in the U.S. I think that it is a free country and if people do not like it, than they dont have to watch it. Al Jazeera shows and reports things that are happening around the world that news channels do not. Its refreshing to watch something different for once and not see and hear the same thing over and over on every news channel. I feel that many news channels here filter out a lot of things that are happening in the world that people should know about and Al Jazeera reports these things and I find it very interesting.

3. Al Jazeera's approach to reporting the news it obviously different in some ways. Unlike U.S. news channels, I feel that watching Al Jazeera, there are a lot of footage of riots and violence that you normally wouldn't see. Also, there are a lot of news stories that I feel that news channels here wouldn't report, but are still intersting to learn about other things going on in the world.

4. Watching what is happening in Iran with the election, I feel that they show a lot of the riots and protests with a lot of violence. Other than that, just watching a little bit of this news I feel from what I've seen other than the violence that they are adhering to them. I feel that if I watched Al Jazeera more often I could better answer this question.
