Facebook video views exceeds over 1 billion
50 million Facebook audiences engage with AJ+
AJ+ has achieved more than one billion online video views a year since its inception in September 2014. The strength of the AJ+ brand’s resonance with its target audience has driven the digital news platform to surpass all expectations little more than a year after its launch.
“It is a great achievement to reach such a milestone in such a short span of time since the launch,” said Dima Khatib, the Managing Director at AJ+. “It is a testament to the hard work of the AJ+ team and also the support that the Al Jazeera Media Network has given to cutting-edge digital platforms in delivering content. We believe that with such solid foundations, we will see AJ+ continue its rapid growth. Engagement and editorial go hand in hand with the ethos of AJ+ which finds new ways to tell human stories while understanding and addressing our audience’s demands.”
Not only has AJ+ attracted more than a billion views, it has revolutionised news on social-media platforms, providing its users and communities with a compelling way to engage and interact with events and issues shaping our world.
As Al Jazeera Media Network’s digital-only news platform, AJ+ highlights human struggles and achievements, strives to make the voice of the voiceless heard, empowers impassioned voices, and tackles the status quo. The platform is structured to deliver a refreshing and bold perspective on current events prompting engagement with custom content for online social communities including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, as well as the AJ+ mobile app.
