Al Jazeera moving staff from London to Doha ahead of the launch of Al Jazeera USA in America.


Al Jazeera (DStv 406 / TopTV 401) is moving staff and journalists from Al Jazeera's newsroom in Knightsbridge in London in the United Kingdom to Qatar to staff its Qatar headquarters, after staff from Qatar are being moved to America ahead of the launch of Al Jazeera USA.

Since Al Jazeera is short of people in Qatar after sending workers to America to bulk up ahead of the launch of Al Jazeera USA, London personnel are now being roped in to help out in Doha where Al Jazeera 's head office is based.

Al Jazeera says staff are involved in "temporary placements".

Al Jazeera's Doha newsroom will be increasing its output over the next few weeks, and staff are needed to fill the temporary openings which has been created by the combination of this and the current Al Jazeera USA expansion.
