Abstracts

EN

The paper presents the phenomenon of television station Al-Jazeera, which was founded in 1996 in Qatar by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thaniani. Al-Jazeera distinguishes itself among other Arab media due to the raised issues, breaking the existing taboos in the Muslim world. However, it is not entirely free medium because of being financed by the ruler of Qatar and will never dare to criticize the Emir policy. The station, which broadcasts also in English, today is one of the most influential media not only among Arab countries, but also worldwide.
