- ABSTRACT The article focuses on the British Broadcasting Corp.'s (BBC) production strategy and its impact on the BBC's news output in the coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It reviews Critical Discourse Analysis literature concerning the use of a news outlet's final output in unraveling the social and discursive world of reporters. It examines interviews, internal style guides, secondary data and textual material with a particular focus on the role played by the BBC College of Journalism in transforming news progressively until it reaches its final shape. It suggests that the social reality of the BBC's coverage practices concerning the Israeli/Palestinian struggle result from the actions of specific social actors.

- The launch of the Arabic language Aljazeera satellite channel nearly ten years ago transformed the television landscape in the Middle East. And over the past three years, the channel has gained global reputation and become a name which governments and decision-makers across the world can hardly ignore. Research on Aljazeera has so far attributed the network’s meteoric rise to fame to what is occasionally described as unlimited access to the coffers of its founders and sponsors, the ruling family in Qatar. This paper attributes the network’s success to reasons other than access to financial resources. Cash is not a problem for almost all satellite channels vying to seize the attention of more than 300 million viewers in a region where television, particularly satellite channels, have become a major source of news and information. The paper finds that Aljazeera has built a dedicated following in both Arab and Islamic worlds through the perseverance of its mostly western-educated editors to show respect for the religion, culture, tradition and aspiration of its listeners – the thing which its competitors like the BBC and CNN sorely lack in their Arabic language services.
