Abstract
Throughout its four-year existence, Al Hurra, the U.S.-backed satellite channel available throughout the Middle East, has been embroiled in controversy. Launched soon after the invasion of Iraq, Al Hurra was tasked with the goal of accurately representing U.S. policies and opinions in the region in an effort to combat the rise of anti-American sentiment. Further, Al Hurra was supposed to provide high-quality journalism that would both result in a more informed and democratically engaged Arab citizenry and improve the quality ofjournalism throughout the region.
