Al-Jazeera – the CNN of the Middle East?
In the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States and the subsequent American military operations in Afghanistan, the 24-hour Arabic-language news organization Al-Jazeera has featured prominently in media coverage. Western media have not been able to operate effectively in Taliban-controlled areas of Afghanistan, so coverage of the Qatar-based organization has become invaluable. However, what is the message Al-Jazeera sends?

Feature Article: "Every City Has Its Own Flavor"
From a feature article by Karen Claussen: "The appalling views of present day Kabul that we see in the news couldn’t be farther from the city I knew in the late sixties. I was lucky to be a giggling teenager in a fascinating city that fed my curiosity a rich diet, in a culture of repression and cruelty side by side with piety and commerce, and most of all color."

An Italian Leader: Berlusconi the Crusader
While US and European leaders are trying to put together a large coalition against the fundamentalist supporters of terrorism, the Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has caused a diplomatic incident with his declaration on the supremacy of the western civilization. Berlusconi, a media tycoon running Italy since May, is not at his first blunder. Italian voters know his loquacity, but still this didn’t keep them from sending him to government with the elections held in May. Since, Italy’s prime minister, who is also on trial for bribery, has not resolved any of his numerous conflicts of interests, among them his fear of international investigations, which are now necessary to seize the terrorists’ financial resources. Yet, as a traditional friend of Arab nations, Italy could still play an important role in the current diplomatic game due to the presence of the former Afghan king Zahir Shah in Rome.
