Doha – 1 September 2025

Al Jazeera Media Network announced today, Monday, 1 September 2025, the appointment of Sheikh Nasser Bin Faisal Bin Khalifa Al-Thani as its new Director General, succeeding Dr. Mostefa Souag, who has held the position for the past twelve years.

The newly appointed Director General is a graduate of Qatar University and has worked at several organisations, including four years at Barwa Real Estate. In 2013, he moved to the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he held various roles, culminating in the rank of Ambassador.

Sheikh Nasser Bin Faisal Al-Thani will lead the Network, which in recent years has achieved notable successes and accomplishments across various fields of media. Today, Al Jazeera stands among the world's leading media organisations, distinguished by its award-winning field coverage, programmes, and documentaries.

This leadership transition comes as the Network seeks to enhance its strategy and operational framework to keep pace with developments in the media and news industry, and to maintain its position as a pioneer both regionally and globally.
