Twitter Analysis
Al Jazeera has about 7 different twitter accounts. The only difference between the majority of them is their name. All of them post breaking news, but Al Jazeera America's breaking news may be different than Al Jazeera English's breaking news. They also have Al Jazeera Weather (self explanatory), and Al Jazeera Canvas which allows followers to directly interact with the media organization through raffles and group thinking.
Headline Analyses
Al Jazeera creates an assortment of breaking news headlines every day. All of them are short and simple, but they also raise questions pertaining to the topic because the topics are either misguiding, which is a great tactic, or a question itself. However, there is one headline that has remained unchanged for 142 days, and it is that of their journalist Mahmoud Hussein who was detained by the Egyptian government. When you click on his headline, it reveals an entire page with the headline, "Journalism Is Not A Crime." Under this headline is a different assortment of headlines than their main page, and they are all efforts to release Mahmoud Hussein.
Video Analysis
The video being analyzed is an episode of Fault Lines about an undocumented immigrant who was ripped way from his family and deported to El Salvador. The wife of the deported cites Donald Trump's campaign trail promise to "get the bad hombres out" multiple times, as her husband has no criminal record. The focus then shifts to a young man with a criminal record. He was deported to Mexico and was forced to leave his family as well. As the episode continues, a central theme pops up. Mr. Trump has neglected Obama era priorities to focus on undocumented immigrants with criminal records and has just focused on undocumented immigrants. Anxiety levels have risen among communities with high percentages of these types of people under this "Enforcement First" administration that has doubled the amount of deportations within 2 months. The episode comes to a close when the narrator questions David Lapan, a Department of Homeland security representative, about the dropping crime rates in Hispanic communities in Houston. Mr. Lapan denies it has anything to do with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents doubling as local community police officers.
