The growing influence of Al Jazeera - now better recognised as a news brand than CNN or the BBC - has seen Bin Jiddu's boss rise to No.3 on our list. Yet Bin Jiddu, seen as the most watched and most popular presenter on the Arabic news channel, hasn't done too badly himself, storming in at No.24 this year.

He now runs the channel's Beirut office, and aside from insightful interviews with decision makers, he has received much acclaim for the channel's coverage of the war in Lebanon last summer. He has been working for years on a documentary about Hezbollah, and last year attained an exclusive interview with the organisation's leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Steve Jobs - Syrian American

Correction, someone said Steve was Lebanese..he is not. His father was a US college professor from Syria, and his mother was American. Check it out on Wikipedia.com.
Arabs...?

Steve Jobs is an arab, of Lebanese origin. If your list spans "the world" then you'd be remiss for him not to be in it.
