The Al-Jazeera news channel which got license to allow down-inking in India from December 2010, will focus on international news, where content is concerned.
“The channel is known for hard-core news reporting of a different kind. This is what our niche is and this is what we will focus on during our expansion in India” said Diana Hosker, head of distribution, Aljazeera Network.
The channel which launched its English version in 2006, is broadcasted from Washington and London, keeping West Asia as its focus, Hosker said at the Cable TV Show being organised in the city. “There is an appetite for our kind of news, which is characterised by the highest standards of journalism and conflict reportage in India as well. Our niche is not the local stuff. International news remains priority for the Al-Jazeera network”, she said.
