Al Jazeera makeover
The Aaardvark has in interesting post on recent changes in the programming and style of Al Jazeera. I had noticed the long overdue stylistic makeover (Al Jazeera for a long time looked a bit like an Eastern European channel from the 1980s), especially with the competition from Al Arabiya (which still has the best graphics and jingles of any news channel I watch in any language.) But he also has more on the content — as I don’t watch much TV this is rather enlightening.
Now, if only the Aardvark could point to the schedule of these shows so that I could catch some of them…

Thanks for the post, Issandr. ‘Sad to see things taking such a violent turn at such an early stage.
A technical question: The pics you’re posting are blocking large stretches of text when I view Arabist.net; that is, they’re layered on top of each other, rather than sequenced. Is this a problem with my IE browser? If so, how can I correct it? I realize it must look normal from your vantage point.
