Al Jazeera Channel was the first independent news channel in the Arab world. Media in the Arab world, till then, was characterised by state-controlled narratives that denied audiences the right to know and the right to be heard.
Having started with one channel in November 1996, now it's a network ideally placed on the world stage with its headquarters in the Arab world with over 70 bureaus around the globe, and more than 3000 employees from more than 95 countries. Al Jazeera has extensive reach across the globe and is available in over 150 countries and territories in more than 430 million homes.

About Project
On May 11, 2022, Al Jazeera Palestine correspondent, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper while conducting her journalistic duty, wearing Press helmet and vest clearly identifying her as a journalist.
In the past year, international independent investigations were commissioned by the United
Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and other trusted renowned international media outlets. The investigations all reached the same conclusion: confirming the eyewitness accounts that Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by the Israeli Forces.
The one-year campaign was to track the days until justice is served for Shireen and for press freedom.
