A (More) Humanitarian Take: Al-Jazeera English and Arabic's coverage of immigration in the West
Abstract
This chapter examines coverage of immigration in Italy and the United States by Al Jazeera Arabic (AJA) and Al Jazeera English (AJE), with a particular emphasis on discursive differences across the Atlantic and between the channels. Relative to the Western news media discussed in previous chapters, this study also highlights Al Jazeera’s unique spin on immigration as an alternative model of journalistic practice.

My research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of journalism and technology, with a focus on understanding the social implications of emerging technologies for how news is produced, distributed, and consumed―as well as the broader consequences of those shifts to public life.
