This email was received from former BJ reporter Cathy Strong:
I thought you'd be interested in a screen shot of the ABJ Blog site as it is displayed for me. Notice the Arabic translation at the top of the screen (as they assume I read Arabic better than English, I guess). hee hee

Cathy, who is now teaching journalism in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was asked further about the Dubai economic situation, which generally is not good after a decade of tremendous modernization and growth/. Cathy replied:
As for the Dubai economic situation ... Our university is actually sponsored by the Abu Dhabi royalty, so we are sweet. In fact, the day the Dubai debt default was announced there was an announcement that Zayed was getting US $1 billion for its new Abu Dhabi campus.
This is good news for me because I think this money will also go for the setup of the convergence journalism (multi-platform media) that is my baby.
