Al Jazeera is present this year at MIPTV to showcase a range of its programmes and documentaries in both Arabic and English. This is the first time that Al Jazeera has made its leading edge content available for distribution at MIPTV. This includes an array of premier programming such as Riz Khan’s “One on One”, Richard Gizbert’s “Listening Post”, “Frost Over the World”, Sami Haddad’s “More than One Opinion”, Faisal Kasem’s “Opposite Direction”, and the award-winning documentary “Prisoner 345”.

Abdullah Al Najjar, Director of Al Jazeera’s Commercial Affairs Division stated “Al Jazeera is taking a large step forward in making its content accessible and available to the world. Our unique brand and spirit of journalism and programming already reaches over 40 million viewers on a daily basis in the Arab world and over 90 million households in the global English-speaking world. Our presence here at MIPTV will extend our reach with a greater engagement with broadcasters around the world looking for cutting-edge content. The initial response to our presence at MIPTV has been overwhelming.”

Al Jazeera’s stand is located at L01 – 15.18 – 17.11 at MIPTV.
