What Al Jazeera thinks of Baltimore

Baltimore-area viewers won’t see it in their TV listings, but this week a program will premiere on the Al Jazeera English channel that could do more to shape the world’s image of their city than any other media coverage or civic promotion done all year.
“Baltimore: Anatomy of an American City” will debut Tuesday night to a potential worldwide audience of 260 million homes. And what those viewers will mainly see is a landscape of young men on bleak street corners, block after block of boarded-up rowhouses, drugs, death, crime scenes and prisons.
