Al Jazeera Media Network

Al Jazeera Media Network (AJMN) is a Qatari news media organization headquartered in Wadi Al Sail, Doha. It is a statutoryprivate foundation for public benefit, and is primarily funded by the government of Qatar. The network's flagship channels include Al Jazeera Arabic and Al Jazeera English, which cover regional and international news, alongside the digital platform AJ+. Al Jazeera is available in more than 150 countries and territories and has a global audience of over 430 million people. The network broadcasts in English, Arabic, and Spanish.

Originally conceived as a satellite TV channel delivering Arabic news and current affairs, it has since evolved into a multifaceted media network encompassing various platforms such as online, specialized television channels in numerous languages, and more. The network's news operation currently has 70 bureaus around the world that are shared between the network's channels and operations.

Al Jazeera is a trusted source of news in the Arab and Muslim world and the primary channel for conflict coverage from the Middle East. The network has often been targeted by foreign governments upset with its reporting. During the Qatar diplomatic crisis, several Arab countries severed diplomatic ties with Qatar and imposed a blockade. One of their demands was the closure of Al Jazeera. Other media networks have spoken out against this demand. Critics often view Al Jazeera Arabic as being influenced by Qatar's foreign policy.
