If you can please send email to Al-Jazeera at marketing-europe@aljazeera.net and show them you are interested in an english service. I've attached the correspondence I've had with them today. regards joe http://www.dot-god.com/ The dot.GOD Registry, Limited ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 12:02:25 -0500 (EST) From: !Dr. Joe Baptista To: Marketing Europe Subject: RE: English Service on Al-Jazeera News (When Mullah Nasreddine and Millions Like Him No Longer Trust The Western Media) I would suggest that Al Jazeera's Management consider is a live english translation service carried over the internet. You simply broadcast you video through an existing software product like read video while providing simultaneous translation in english. I think that would be more cost effective and will reach more people then an english service on an additional satelite transponder. Many Americans and other westerners are searching for answers and were not getting much attention from our local broadcasters. All we end up getting is propaganda and not much else. In closing thank you for the consideration you have given my request. regards joe baptista On Tue, 30 Oct 2001, Marketing Europe wrote:

Dear Mr Baptista,

Thank you for your kind email and for your interest in Al Jazeera Channel.

We have forwarded your request for an English service to Al Jazeera's Management.

Al Jazeera is aware of the need for an English service. However, as it is a news Channel with most of its coverage transmitted live, it will take some time to complete the process.

This matter is currently under consideration by the Board of Management at Al Jazeera and a decision will be made in the near future.

Many thanks again for your support.

Regards,

Marketing Europe

Hello:

I for one would very much appreciate english service for Al-Jazeera. The pablum we are fed by western media simply does not cut the mustard.

[AL-AWDA-News] and AMANA Request English Service on Al-Jazeera News (please read and act on this correspondence)

An article in the LA Times highlights how important it is to have a voice in the Arab world that is free from political manipulation.

While this is not directly related to the Palestinian cause, a forum where views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its effects on the Arab and Westerns world must be supported.

So write to Al-Jazeera giving your support and also to any local papers saying how important a news channel such as Al-Jazeera is.

Subj: Re: [AL-AWDA-Europe] Al-Jazeera News

Dear Neil,

I work for Al Jazeera. We do receive hate mail due to Al Jazeera's coverage of the war in Afghanistan.

There has been an enormous increase of the western media's interest in Al Jazeera. We also have a lot of viewers asking for an English service or subtitles. Al Jazeera's Management is considering this matter so it would be very helpful if we get more people asking for an English Service.

You can send your support emails and any requests to:

marketing-europe@aljazeera.net.

Regards,

Nibal

"And the mind - may God preserve you - is more prone to deep sleep than the eye. Neediest of sharpening than a sword. Poorest to treatment. Fastest to change. Its illness, the deadliest. Its doctors, the rarest. And its cure, the hardest. Whoever got a hold of it, before the spread of the disease, found his sake. Whoever tried to wrestle it after the spread would not find his sake. The greatest purpose of knowledge is the abundance of inspiring thoughts. Then, the ways to go about one's needs are met." -- Al-Jahiz ("Puffy"), 9th Century Baghdad, Kitab at-Tarbi` wat-Tadweer ("Squaring the Circle"), p. 101, Edited by Prof. Charles Pellat, Institut Francais de Damas, 1955.
