About Al Jazeera Book
Who controls the story controls the world. This is the untold story of the network that shattered the West’s media monopoly.
For decades, the global narrative was dictated from London and New York. The news beamed into billions of homes presented a world seen through a single, powerful lens—one where the Global South was often a backdrop for crisis, a subject of pity, or a threat to be managed. Then, in 1996, a signal from the tiny Gulf nation of Qatar cracked the foundation of this information empire.
