Al Jazeera America (AJAM) is an American basic cable and satellite news television channel that is owned by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partly funded by the House of Thani, the ruling family of Qatar.[1] The channel, which was launched on August 20, 2013, directly competes with CNN, HLN, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, and in certain markets, RT America. The channel is Al Jazeera's second entry into the U.S. television market, after the launch of beIN Sport in 2012.

The channel is headquartered and run from studios on the first floor of the Manhattan Center in New York City.[2][2][3][4] It also has a total of 12 bureaus located in Washington, D.C., at the channel's D.C. studios at the Newseum, Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Dallas, Denver, Miami, and San Francisco (former headquarters of Current TV and current headquarters of online channel AJ+).[2][5]

Because Current TV (the channel Al Jazeera America replaced) operated on a standard definition feed, it is transmitted from cable providers that previously carried Current TV in standard definition only, even though the channel produces its programming in high definition due to Al Jazeera still being under Current's carriage deals on those providers. Google Fiber, Bright House Networks and Time Warner Cable were the first providers in the United States that broadcast Al Jazeera America in high definition due to those being new deals.[6]

On May 14, 2014, Verizon FiOS added high-definition carriage on its service.[7] On June 27, 2014, AT&T U-Verse added the channel.[8]

As of February 2015, 61,513,000 homes (52.8% of households with television) receive Al Jazeera America.[9]

Development

The creation of Al Jazeera America was announced on January 2, 2013, along with the announcement that the network had purchased the user generated content channel turned progressive-oriented cable television channel Current TV, which had long been struggling in the ratings and after two format changes had announced in October 2012 that it was considering a sale of the channel.[10] It was reported that Al Jazeera planned on shutting down Current TV, keeping its production staff and possibly some programs, and using the company's distribution network to broadcast Al Jazeera America.[11] Current TV by coincidence was formerly Newsworld International, an international news channel run by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

On July 22, 2013, Al Jazeera America named former ABC News Vice President Kate O'Brian as president of the network, and Ehab Al Shihabi as interim CEO in charge of business affairs. In addition, former CNN veteran David Doss was named Vice President of News Programming and former CBS News executive Marcy McGinnis was named Vice President of News Gathering. Former MSNBC executive Shannon High-Bassalik was named Senior Vice President of Documentaries and Programs.[12]

Al Jazeera said it received more than 21,000 job applications for 400 positions at its U.S. network. Approximately 200 Current TV employees, including some 50 in editorial, were absorbed by the new operation.[3] It planned to have a total of 800 employees at the channel's launch. Al Jazeera America also announced that the channel would employ well-known veteran journalists, anchors, and producers.[13]

On July 3, 2013, Ali Velshi confirmed that Al Jazeera America's launch would take place on August 20, 2013.[14] The launch took place at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date, with an hour-long preview special entitled This is Al Jazeera. News coverage began immediately afterward at 4:00 p.m. Al Jazeera America's website launched on August 8, 2013.[15]

Content and programs

Originally 60% of the channel's programming would be produced in America, while an additional 40% would come from Al Jazeera English. That has since changed to almost all of the channel's program content being originated from the United States. In an interview with The New York Times, head of international operations Ehab Al Shihabi said Al Jazeera America's content on "most days will primarily be domestic news. But Al Jazeera’s seventy bureaus around the world will mean that we will have an unparalleled ability to report on important global stories that Americans are not seeing elsewhere. We will do that when it is warranted".[16] Al Shihabi said that the channel would feature less political discussion and celebrity news, and that newsgathering will take priority over maximizing profits (the network will air only six minutes of commercials per hour, a rate far fewer than competing networks).[17][18] Its three-hour morning program will have a different format focusing on hard news and not "a group of anchors chatting on a couch".[19]

Al Jazeera America airs live programming at all hours, including half-hour news bulletins at 2 or 3 a.m., while other cable news channels run rebroadcasts of the previous evening's primetime programs.[3] A three-hour morning show, talk shows and taped documentaries are also planned. Three Al Jazeera English programs that are based in Washington, The Stream, Inside Story and Fault Lines were included on the launch schedule, as well as The Frost Interview and Listening Post. The flagship nighttime show is called America Tonight. It is a weeknight news magazine that presents the day’s news in Al Jazeera's long-form style with "stories that are not covered elsewhere".[20]

Al Jazeera America's original senior executive producer for news and special projects was Bob Wheelock, a former senior producer for ABC and NBC News. Wheelock left the network shortly after the launch to head up a political campaign in Delaware.

CNN chief business correspondent and the anchor of Your Money, Ali Velshi was the first major name to join Al Jazeera America. He hosts a daily, half-hour show called Real Money with Ali Velshi.[21] The show was originally going to be once a week until the end of 2013 before becoming a daily show but launched as a daily show.[22]

The channel has a 16-person investigative unit and hired veteran National Headline Award-winning journalist Edward Pound (formerly of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, U.S. News & World Report and the National Journal) to lead its investigation division. Josh Bernstein of Denver Fox affiliate KDVR was hired as the lead investigative reporter, along with Trevor Aaronson, an award-winning author and investigative journalist and the former co-founder and associate director of the nonprofit Florida Center for Investigative Reporting who will serve as the networks investigative digital reporter based in Washington, D.C.[23][24] It later hired Andrea Stone, most recently of The Huffington Post, and Tony Karon, most recently of TIME Magazine, to manage both U.S. and global coverage for the channel's website and other digital platforms. The two will determine the overall editorial direction for the site and both will be based in New York City.[25]

Newseum home to Al Jazeera America's D.C. hub, Inside Story and America Tonight

The channel also hired Kim Bondy, a former executive producer with CNN to produce its flagship news program America Tonight, a newsmagazine program that is hosted by original CNN International anchor and former CBS News correspondent Joie Chen, produced from Al Jazeera America's Newseum studio in Washington, D.C., and featuring correspondents Adam May, Lori Jane Gliha, former CBS, ABC and CBC news correspondent Sheila MacVicar and former Current TV correspondent Christof Putzel.[26][27][28] The program presents in-depth segments each night on the economy, government, education, healthcare and the environment, and include breaking news stories. The program also features work by the Al Jazeera America investigative unit and covers stories in depth from across America, revealing new insights on the news of the day and breaking stories with its own original reporting. America Tonight also incorporates social media interaction on screen and off to reflect the views of its American audience. On July 1, 2013, longtime CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien was hired to be a special correspondent for America Tonight, as well as a deal with her production company Starfish Media Group to produce long-form documentaries for Al Jazeera America.[29]

An American version of the popular Al Jazeera English program The Stream is also featured on the channel. It is produced from Washington, D.C., and hosted by veteran journalist and former ABC News correspondent Lisa Fletcher. The show is formatted to allow viewers to interact with Fletcher and her guests during the program via Twitter, Facebook, Google+ Hangouts and Skype. The show's social media team and second screen technology enable viewers to engage 24 hours a day with new content, comments, user-generated videos and a variety of posts. The Stream relies heavily on a variety of online resources and social media tools to connect with people across the United States and around the world. This includes "Storify", which allows the aggregation of additional information, links, and photos about show topics on the website; "Video Genie", which enables viewers to leave video questions for the show 24-7; and Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Reddit. It also hosts Google+ Hangouts and uses Skype rather than satellite feeds for nearly all guest interviews.[30] Less hard-news orientated than Al Jazeera America's other shows, guests have included everyone from civil rights group leaders to Kathy Griffin.

On July 21, 2013, the network hired former Fox News, MSNBC, and Current TV veteran David Shuster to host a show during "the evening hours".[31] Shuster is currently an analyst on the midday and evening news on the channel as well as a fill in host.

On July 26, 2013, the network announced that former Good Morning America host and award-winning journalist Antonio Mora would host a current events talk show called Consider This, a program which showcases "hard-hitting interviews and panel discussions on issues important to American viewers". Consider This also features interactive segments where the audience will join the conversation via social media.[32] The first episode of the show highlighted the hunger strike and court-approved force-feeding in California's prison system.

The channel announced plans to produce and acquire documentaries. Kathy Davidov and Cynthia Kane were hired as the senior executive producer and senior producer for its in-house documentary film unit. Davodov comes from the National Geographic Channel, where she produced shows such as Border Wars and the Explorer special. Kane came from ITVS, where she managed over 150 projects and worked with the Sundance Channel.[33]

On April 13, 2014 the channel began showing Borderland, a documentary series on illegal immigration which follows six Americans as they retrace the fatal journey of three undocumented migrants who died attempting to cross into the United States. Borderland was the first Documentary series for the channel. A second one called The System focused on the U.S. prison system.

Al Jazeera Investigative Unit

Formed in 2010, in its own words: the role of Al Jazeera Investigations is not to report the news, but to make the news.

The Unit, also known as 'the Investigations Team' or, simply, 'Al Jazeera Investigations' is headquartered at the Network headquarters in Doha, but also has representation in London, Washington, DC and San Francisco, the last two the base of the Al Jazeera America branch. The unit is a Al Jazeera Media Network asset and its reports will appear equally on the other channels, tailored appropriately for the relevant language and audience.

The Unit's investigations resulted, amongst others, in the documentary What Killed Arafat? This film won a CINE Golden Eagle Award. In 2013, the Arafat findings were indeed reported as a news–item on other networks. The documentaries are often presented under their own strand, as: Al Jazeera Investigates. It will reveal secrets and expose truths surrounded by silence.

The original Unit chief was Ahmad Ibrahim, but the current Manager of Investigative Journalism for the Al Jazeera Media Network is Clayton Swisher. Other leading figures include: Ed Pound, Karen Wightman, Trevor Aaronson, Frank Bass, Josh Bernstein, Simon Boazman, Will Jordan, Phil Rees, Ken Silverstein. At its launch, the unit had three separate teams.

Awards

In 2014 Al Jazeera America and producer Reed Lindsay won a Gracie Award in the “Outstanding Hard News Feature” category from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation for the story “Fists of Fury,” which aired on America Tonight.[40] The award was the first award ever for the channel.

Al Jazeera America has also won a Shorty Award for "Best News Twitter Account".[41]

The Al Jazeera America show Fault Lines won two Peabody Awards in 2013 for the episodes "Haiti in a Time of Cholera"[42] and "Made in Bangladesh".[43]

The channel and Fault Lines also won a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for "Made in Bangladesh".[44]

On September 30, 2014 Fault Lines won an News & Documentary Emmy Award in the Investigative Journalism News-magazine category for "Haiti in a time of Cholera".[45]

In early 2015, Al Jazeera America's digital team was recognized with an Award of Excellence for Photo Editing Portfolio in the Pictures of the Year International competition.[46]

In April 2015, Al Jazeera America won 16 National Headliner Awards including 7 first place wins in various categories including "Broadcast television networks, cable networks and syndicators environmental reporting" where It held all three top nomination spots with the Fault Lines episode “Water for Coal” winning overall, "Broadcast television networks, cable networks and syndicators investigative report" and "Best of TV" where the Fault Lines episode "Deadly Force" won, "Broadcast television networks, cable networks and syndicators documentary or series of reports" where the documentary "Killing the Messenger" won, "Broadcast television networks, cable networks and syndicators coverage of a major news event" where they also held the top three places with their coverage of The Downing of MH14 winnng, "Broadcast television networks, cable networks and syndicators newscast" where their coverage of the Crisis in Yemen and ISIL on the Turkish Border won and "online slideshow" for it's digital team.[47]

Availability

The channel is currently available in at least 55 million American households with pay television service.[10][48][49] In contrast, Al Jazeera English, which launched in 2006 and, until 2013, the network's only English-language channel, was available in only a few U.S. cities and reached 4.7 million households, though it was live streamed online for free until the launch of Al Jazeera America.[10] Al Jazeera America's programs are not streamed live online in the United States due to contractual stipulations with cable and satellite providers.[50] However, it is being progressively added as a streaming service on the various TV Everywhere platforms of the service providers that the channel is available on as new deals are reached such as Time Warner's. Al Jazeera America replaced Current TV on Comcast, Dish Network, Verizon and DirecTV.[48] The channel is also available on Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks after a contract agreement was reached between Al Jazeera and the carriers on October 24, 2013.[51] Time Warner Cable, which carried Current TV in nine million households, originally dropped the channel because it did not consent to its sale to Al Jazeera.[52] Time Warner Cable carried Al Jazeera English in the New York City market because of a time lease agreement by that network on a subchannel of WRNN-TV until Al Jazeera English was withdrawn from US distribution. Al Jazeera America is also available on CenturyLink systems and some smaller cable systems. AT&T U-verse did not carry Al Jazeera America at launch, stating that it was due a contract dispute as the reason.[53] Al Jazeera responded with a lawsuit against AT&T for an alleged breach of contract.[54] On June 10, 2014, AT&T and Al Jazeera settled the lawsuit out of court. Al Jazeera America was added to AT&T U-Verse on June 27, 2014.[8] In October 2013, Al Jazeera America was added to Google Fiber's line up of channels.

Incidents

While covering the Ferguson protests in 2014, officers from the Ferguson Police Department shot rubber bullets and tear gas at an AJAM news crew including correspondent Ash-har Quraishi, who after yelling, "We're the press" caused them to abandon their recording equipment and run to safety.[55] The incident was caught on camera by KSDK-TV, a local NBC affiliate who was filming from across the street. An officer was captured on video turning the reporters' video camera toward the ground and dismantling their equipment.[56] Other incidents, including the arrests of two print journalists for The Washington Post and The Huffington Post, also occurred during the same time period.
