Washington, April 13 (RHC)-- The news channel Al Jazeera America has signed off for the last time. The U.S.-focused branch of the Qatar-based network launched in 2013 after Al Jazeera purchased Current TV from former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.
For the past three years, the television news channel has attempted to bring their viewing audience in the U.S. a different perspective on news from the Middle East and around the world.
According to reports from Washington, about 700 people are losing their jobs at Al Jazeera America.
