France launches world TV channel

france has launched its internationa TV channel which will compete with BBC, CNN and Aljazeera. This channel was created in order to give the inetnational audiances an idea about france's opinion about the war in Iraq in addition to its position vis a vis different international events. France 24 is broadcasted in french but in the future it will be in English, Arabic and Spanish. I think that it is a good idea to have France 24 in these different languages because it will reach a huge number of local and international audiences. in addition to that it will provide a chances for employing journalits from different countries. we will have France 24 that gives news in frensh eyes, aljazeera in arabic eyes and CNN in American eyes. Thus, we will not have a monopoly of the news coverage and we will have a different appraoches (French,Arabic and American or English.
