Al Jazeera is a Doha-based, Qatar-funded international news organization known for its in-depth coverage of the Middle East and global South, often providing alternative perspectives not typically found in Western media. Founded in 1996, it has grown into a network encompassing multiple channels and languages, including Arabic, English, and Spanish. While praised for its journalistic integrity and coverage of underreported stories, Al Jazeera has also faced criticism for alleged bias, particularly in its coverage of Qatari politics and regional conflicts. Despite these controversies, it remains a significant and influential voice in the global news landscape.
