The launching of the Alhurra news the USA prompted because of a dispute between USA government and Anti- America bias reporting from Arab television networks which lead the Arab people against the U.S. It was intended to produce news in more balanced and objective manner to improve the image of United States in the Arab world.Norman Pattiz was the driving force behind this channel which is founder and executive of Westwood One. Pattiz was the founder of Radio Sawa and idea of the creation of Alhurra channel came from the success of Radio Sawa. Pattiz believed that Arab people were negatively affected by Arab news networks in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
