New publication:

The Lebanese Media: Anatomy of a System in Perpetual Crisis
<http://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9781137602800>

The monograph presents an analysis of the current Lebanese media system. 
From a theoretical angle, it discusses the extent to which this system 
can be analyzed using the ideal types put forth by Hallin and Mancini in 
their seminal work. Comparing Media Systems. Sarah El-Richani assesses 
the complex dimensions developed by the two scholars and utilizes their 
work as inspiration for a process of remodeling, amending the 
sub-indicators to identify salient factors and suggesting a new model. 
Featuring the views of over 60 stakeholders, this book gives a rare, 
critical, and concise account of the Lebanese media system.

It is preceded by a foreword by Prof. Daniel Hallin (University of 
California) and has been endorsed by Professors Naomi Sakr (University 
of Westminster), Carola Richter (Freie Universität Berlin) and Marwan 
Kraidy (University of Pennsylvania), who referred to it as "A must read 
for scholars of Lebanon, Arab media and comparative media research."
