Al-Jazeera Chief Mohammad Jasim Al-Ali Appointed Associate; Calls for Adham
Center/Al-Jazeera Cooperation
JUNE 13, 2000 Mohammad Jasim Al-Ali, Al-Jazeera managing
director, was named an honorary faculty member of the Adham Center at tonights
annual awards dinner.
In his letter appointing Al-Ali as an Associate, AUC Provost
Tim Sullivan noted that Al-Jazeera has filled the void in Arab broadcasting for
independent journalism and free speech. Dr. Sullivan observed that most surveys
these days rank Al-Jazeera as the most popular television channel in the Arab
world.
In his acceptance speech, Al-Ali noted how much the Adham Center
and Al-Jazeera have in common: Diversity, objectivity, and mastering professional
work has long been your drive, as it has been, and still is, ours.
Al-Ali said that Al-Jazeera channel widely opens its arms
to AUCians, especially to graduates of the Adham Center. You are most welcome
to join us in our headquarters in Doha, here in Cairo, or anywhere in the world.
This priority to work with us, should you choose to, is but a recognition of what
you had to prove on your way to the highest standards of qualification.

Adham Center director S. Abdallah Schleifer welcomed Al-Alis
remarks, and in particular his call for greater cooperation between the channel
and the Adham Center. Noting the importance of Al-Jazeera, Schleifer said that
the channel has also gained considerable attention in the Arab press--some of
that attention has reflected the widespread admiration that Al Jazeera has achieved
from millions of viewers throughout the Arab world. Some of that attention has
reflected concern or even fear of its willingness to air criticism. But that concern
is beginning to evaporate as established interests realize that Al Jazeera has
no special interests, no axe to grind and it is committed in news and in debate
to always present both sides of the story.
