Agence France Presse The most high-profile US face on Al-Jazeera's English language service has quit the network, citing increasing editorial control by the Qatar-based management, according to reports Friday. "To put it bluntly, the channel that's on now -- while excellent, and I plan to be a lifetime viewer -- is not the channel that I signed up to do," Dave Marash, a former ABC network correspondent, told The New York Times. He said that the 24-hour Doha-based network had started exercising increasing editorial control not only over its Washington bureau, but also over the European and Asian broadcasting hubs in London and Kuala Lumpur. "They started covering the whole world very well, but from the point of view and the interests of Doha and the surrounding region," he said. Editorial input from the Washington bureau, he said, "small at the start, has gotten smaller and smaller." On Wednesday, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported that Al-Jazeera's management wanted to focus resources on consolidating popularity among its core audience in the Middle East. The Guardian said that more than 15 staff had quit in recent months amid complaints of a lack of clarity over its direction, contractual disputes and speculation over a relaunch later this year. Al-Jazeera launched its English channel in 2006, bidding to become a big name in global broadcasting and taking on the long-established BBC and CNN. Among other big name Western journalists recruited by the channel were award-winning former ITV and BBC British broadcaster David Frost. It has four regional broadcasting centers in Doha, Kuala Lumpur, London and Washington, as well as some 18 bureaux. The English-language network is available in more than 100 million households in 60 countries but is not carried by any major US cable provider.
