With the advent of the Arab spring, one feels a certain amount of hunger for news, news and more news. Of course we mostly turn to Al-Jazeera news, but, is this always the wise choice??
Reliability of any news channel coverage depends on which country is being covered. For in depth coverage of the country of your choice, you may find the following guide useful:
Country | Useful | Useless |
Algeria | Al-Jazeera | Algerian TV |
Libya | NBN and all else | Libya TV, New TV |
Jordan | Al-Jazeera | Al-Arabia, JTV |
Syria | Al-Arabia | Al-Jazeera, STV, Al-Manar |
Yemen | Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabia | YTV |
Bahrain | Al-Manar, New TV | Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabia, Bahrain TV |
Oman | None | ALL |
Iran | Al-Arabia | Al-Jazeera, Al-Manar |
I hope you find the guide useful. Kick back and enjoy the next revolution coming soon to a country near you.
Note: I cannot give advice on Tunisia and Egypt as leaders and alliances are not clear yet.
No mention of Al-Hurra as nobody is watching it. Watch it on your own risk.
Just to make ur guide more comprehensive i think you can add:
ReplyDeleteBBC Arabic for all countries is useful
France24 for Syria
Ro'ya channel for Jordan
my regards
BBC Arabic is doing better coverage for Syria than any other news
