Al-Jazeera Sacks Yvonne Ridley, 19 Nov. 2003

by Majdur
Sister Yvonne Ridley, a senior editor with Aljazeera’s newly launched English website in Doha, Qatar, has been sacked by her Gulf bosses.

Ridley’s colleagues note that she had public rows in the newsroom with the Arab management. In one case, she clashed with an Arabic site manager after he put up a notice on the office bulletin-board, advertising a men-only editorial meeting.
“They all brought food and had a little party in there,” a source said. “When Yvonne asked him what they had talked about, the manager told her sarcastically that it was about sex-discrimination issues.”
