Levantine Arabic strongly features in spoken discussions of MSA materials, reflecting authentic practice by native speakers. However, the overall ratio of MSA - the form employed for reading, writing and formal speaking in the Arab world - to Levantine has been increased, supporting students' mounting need...

Her years as one of the first women reporters at the Omaha World-Herald, covering gender barriers even as she broke a few herself, give Wirth an especially apt perspective on the women profiled in this book: those Nebraskans who, over a hundred years, challenged traditional feminine roles in journalism and subtly but surely changed the world.

The book features remarkable women journalists who worked in every...

Die anhaltende Kaufzuruckhaltung der Leser, Absatzruckgange, Einbruche bei den Werbeeinnahmen und der Verlust der Rubrikanzeigen an das Internet sind Krisensymptome. Dies zwingt die Verlage zur Optimierung betrieblicher Prozesse. Nicht zuletzt die wachsende Konkurrenz mit den elektronischen Medien und zwischen den Verlagen fuhrt dazu, dass der Vertrieb eine immer groere Bedeutung fur den Unternehmenserfolg bekommt. Peter Brummund, selbst lange Jahre in fuhrender Stellung in der...
