Tonight was a late iftar with friends at the new Al Jazeera Café in Katara.
What surprised me is that despite the name it isn’t a café, it’s a full-fledged restaurant with a large menu and proper chef. The food was really good.
It also serves as a small Al Jazeera museum, with a number of items on display, including some somber ones to remind us that journalism can be a dangerous job, such as the bullet proof vest of a reporter who was killed in Libya in 2011.
Or some bits of equipment from when Al Jazeera’s bureau in Baghdad was hit by an American missile.
They even have a mock studio with a camera where you can try reading from a prompter like the news anchors.
I prefer the ‘casual’ newsreader look.
