半島禮讚

出於閱讀半島英文網頁，以及收視半島電視英語頻道的個人經驗，本文試圖說明半島報導世界帶來的感受性如何是「個人的即是政治的」，不僅改變個人感受世界的視野，也因此持續參與形塑世界政治。本文試圖說明，半島不僅是另一個躋身CNN與BBC World之列的全球新聞媒體，而是個衛星電視結合網際網路與部落格等新媒介，影響世界、帶來新挑戰的當代象徵。最後本文將半島現象的啟發，翻譯為想像一個立足華人世界、挑戰西方媒體新聞議程與新聞敘事的全球新聞網，將意味著什麼。

Based on personal viewing experiences of Al Jazeera English, this essay explores Al Jazeera as a global news phenomenon in which ＂the personal as political＂ serves as the keynote of news reporting. Thus, Al Jazeera not only invites viewers to experience the world differently, but also participates in shaping world politics. Being a global establishment comparable to CNN and BBC World, it has become a symbol of daring spirits integrating new media such as satellite TV, internet Website, and blogs. This paper concludes by suggesting a scenario for the Chinese World: Is an equivalent global presence possible at all, strong enough to challenge the Western hegemony in news agenda and news narratives?
