State - No State

If you go here, you can read about a great resource publication, The Middle East & North Africa Media Guide.

It is

an easy-to-use reference book listing contact details, telephone & fax numbers, postal and e-mail addresses, distribution and circulation data for over 5,000 newspapers, magazines, television channels, radio stations and other media outlets across 18 countries, as well as providing insightful analysis and an overview of the regional media industry.

Now in its ninth edition, the 610-page guide is fully revised, updated and expanded with even more media contacts, providing you with instant access to the media in the Middle East & North Africa.

But what do they mean by the countries of the "Middle East & North Africa"?

Well, look at the map and the list of countries:

Palestine is a state. But it isn't.

Israel does appear, and Jerusalem is even capitalized to indicate it being the capital city. But it doesn't make the guide's list of countries.

Is that good media?
