New Al Jazeera Channel In The US Sparks Offensive Tweets

On August 20, 2013, Al Jazeera America, a media group based in Qatar, went live, tagging itself as the latest American TV news channel that connects viewers to human stories at the heart of the news.

The hashtag #AlJazeeraAmericaTVShows was also launched on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr to advertise the new show on cable, aside from full-page postings on newspapers like USA Today and The New York Times.

The channel can be viewed by over 40 million homes. Social media sites had several conversations based on Al Jazeera America’s launch, talking about how it will be received by American viewers.

Despite promises by the network that it will be offering more in-depth news and information, as well as covering grounds like never before, there were apprehensions on the part of potential viewers and social media users.

The hashtag #AlJazeeraAmericaTVShows became a gathering point for people to share their issues and concerns about the latest release and how it would impact American viewers.
