Al-Jazeera is a commercial television news provider specializing in the Arab world. It is based in Doha, Qatar.

Just as CNN introduced a new business model of 24-hour news, al-Jazeera has focused on a new business model of becoming a dominant, non-Western news provider specializing in a region. It intends to be the leading provider of Arabic-language news, but also the dominant provider of English-language news on its region through its sister channel, Al-Jazeera English. That strategy means that it focuses on meeting the demands of its principal viewers, which are not necessarily those of a Western news service.

Al-Jazeera English features a number of presenters formerly seen on BBC World News, among them Anita McNaught, Barnaby Phillips, Veronica Pedrosa, Stephen Cole, Rageh Omaar, Jacky Rowland and weatherman Everton Fox.
