> We seek comments and discussion on an EU-funded 
> project which investigates the ways that Arabic 
> speakers use television across Europe. There are 
> no reliable ratings on who is watching satellite 
> television across Europe. Hundreds of Arabic 
> channels are available, ranging from rebroadcast 
> local channels (eg Moroccan), through 
> transnational channels such as BBC Arabic and 
> Al-Jazeera. The project began with a 
> questionnaire followed by a diary survey and in 
> depth focus groups. For further information 
> please see <http://www.media-citizenship.eu/>http://www.media-citizenship.eu/
>
> The research leading to these results has 
> received funding from the European Community's 
> Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreement n° 217480.
