Naomi Sakr is Professor of Media Policy at the University of Westminster and former Director of the Arab Media Centre (part of the University of Westminsters Communication and Media Research Institute). Her publications include Satellite Realms: Transnational Television, Globalization and the Middle East; Arab Television Today; Transformations in Egyptian Journalism; and, as editor, Women and Media in the Middle East: Power through Self-Expression; Arab Media and Political Renewal: Community, Legitimacy and Public Life; and Arab Media Moguls (all published by I.B.Tauris).

Jeanette Steemers is Professor of Culture, Media and Creative Industries at Kings College London. Her publications include Creating Preschool Television: A Story of Commerce, Creativity and Curriculum; Selling Television: British Television in the Global Marketplace; and European Television Industries (with Petros Iosifidis and Mark Wheeler). She is co-editor of Global Media and National Policies and European Media in Crisis: Values, Risks and Policies.

This book provides a synthesis of research and policy reports as well as professional views on producing childrens media in the MENA region. As such, it sheds new light on the role of policy and ideology, as well as technology, on childrens media output, covering various genres and case studies. The authors cover an impressive array of topics, including media policies, representation of gender and national identity, and the choice of linguistic code used in childrens media. This is a well-written and well-argued book, which will be essential reading for students and scholars of Middle East studies.

Acknowledgements

This book is one of numerous published works that have resulted from research and outreach undertaken as part of a three-year project funded by the UKs Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The project as originally conceived, roughly three years before it materialized, bore the title Orientations in the Development of Pan-Arab Television for Children. With the subsequent rapid development of technology, social media and changes in childrens media use, the project team has come to think in terms of screen content rather than television. The books title reflects this development. As editors we wish to acknowledge the AHRC research grant (AH/J004545/1) and to thank all those who helped with both the grant and the project.

More specifically, several chapters in this volume can be traced back to presentations made at a symposium on Arab television for children, held at the University of Westminster under the auspices of the AHRC grant in May 2013. We thank everyone who took part in that event, and especially the authors whose work appears here.
