a new vital voice: Al Jazeera International on air








The world is not only growing ever more interconnected and interdependent, but also more complicated and difficult to understand by the day. All the more reason to cater to the urgent need for valid information, profound analysis and in-depth interest in the other.

“Get to know thy neighbor” is the sign of our times and I think here comes a long awaited addition to our daily dish of undigested news and coverage: have a look at AJI and see for yourselves what to make of it.

Contribution, partaking is ever better than simply looking the other way, isn't it?
Be it biased (I see no harm in that), be it controversial: as long as it enhances our mutual understanding it offers an additional flicker of enlightenment.

And it is up to us whether it catches fire or not; reason that is!
