I see that the Saudis have banned voting for contestants on Star Academy for the second year running. Good to see that the N-H wars are still raging, even if they've taken a back seat the last few months. What the world needs now, I do believe, is an essay called "Reality is not enough: the politics of Arab reality television", coming soon to a Transnational Broadcasting Studies Journal near you!
How soon is now? In the beginning of January perhaps?
Happy new year AA!

not sure - I had thought it was December, but December is rapidly running out of days! What about it, TBS editors - any ETA?
