AL JaZeera ConTrol RooM

What most people see is a well dressed reporter standing in front of a camera reporting news. What the film Control Room showed the viewers is the behind the scenes of reporting and the obstacles and loop holes and tasks these people take and make to deliver hard hitting news stories. This Arab news station i think shows a whole different side to news reporting as americans know it. I feel they utilize different strategies and motives into what story it is there reporting on. There values are fueled by different things then what normal american stations are, I think they deliver hard hitting news and go to many lengths to get their story as due american reporters in that aspect i feel they share a common trait as do most people who consider themselves journalists. Watching this documentary opened up a different view of the war from the "other side" then just what is shown on american news stations, I think Al Jazeera is a well run and good news source. It most def shows the struggle between trying to remain unbias and then targeting the interest of the viewers who watch and get their news and information from Al JaZeera.
