DOHA: Al-Jazeera, the Arabic-language TV network, said Tuesday the New York Stock Exchange is banning its reporters - a move the station attributed to its reports on the Iraq war.
"Al-Jazeera has received an official letter from the New York Stock Exchange informing it that the station's financial reporters can no longer present their reports from the exchange," the satellite channel reported on its morning financial broadcast.
The station reported that the letter said the exchange wanted to limit the number of television stations covering the exchange. But Al-Jazeera, which has been covering the NYSE for years, said it was believed to be the only channel affected by the action.
