The price of truth: Al Jazeera marks 25 dangerous years

As Al Jazeera marks its 25th anniversary on November 1, the history of the media network is beset with the inherent risks, obstacles and outright attacks it has had to weather by reporting from the world’s most strife-stricken places.

The dangers faced by Al Jazeera have included multiple threats to shut down its bureaus and the killing or detention of its front-line journalists. They have ranged from phone hacking and network-wide cyber-attacks, to state-sanctioned satellite scrambling and outright aerial bombardments on bureau locations.



Al Jazeera’s Jamal Elshayyal takes a look at the history of the network and the obstacles and dangers it has faced since its inception.
