Journalist Salah Negm, who helped establish several channels, including Al Jazeera, BBC Arabic and Al Arabiya, said journalism’s role is to defend freedom and rank news according to its importance to the public. He said objectivity matters more than neutrality, which, in his view, can flatten issues and leave journalists without a position. Understanding an event, he explained, requires knowing its history and the interests of the parties involved. Citing coverage of Palestine, he stressed the importance of using its Arabic names and terminology. He also said credibility, professionalism, quality and scoops are among the hallmarks of a news channel. Negm spoke about his career, which included eight years at Radio Netherlands, followed by a period at the BBC, before he joined Al Jazeera in June 1996. He said freedom to work and the protection of ideas helped the channel succeed and remain at the forefront.
