Programming note: Al Jazeera to start a new weekly series, Al Jazeera Correspondent, on 18 August telling the stories behind the news.


Al Jazeera (DStv 406 / TopTV 401) just told me that the 24 hour news channel will start a new weekly series entitled Al Jazeera Correspondent on Thursday 18 August at 21:00 (South African time).

Al Jazeera Correspondent will go behind the news events shaping the international news cycle and follow Al Jazeera correspondents who will give their personal and first-hand accounts of events and stories they have reported on.

''From the most remote corners of Tibet's mountains to the deepest mines of Chile's deserts, our correspondents cross the globe as they take us on their journeys of discovery that reveal as much about the future as it does about the past,'' says Al Jazeera about Al Jazeera Correspondent.
