20 years of Al Jazeera English: Our story is still being written

Twenty years ago today, on November 15, 2006, Al Jazeera English began broadcasting with a belief that the world needed a different perspective on the news. A perspective that would bring underreported stories to international attention and give people everywhere a greater opportunity to be seen and heard. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, that belief remains as important as ever. The world has changed enormously over the past two decades. We have witnessed wars, political upheavals, economic crises, technological revolutions and profound changes in how people consume information. Through it all, Al Jazeera English has sought to do more than report events.
