Olbermann issued an apology (though, as Forbes’ Jeff Bercovici noted , it was laced with animus toward MSNBC), and returned to the air Tuesday . There were several pertinent peripheral bits to this story — Olbermann was reportedly suspended for his refusal to apologize on air, it’s unclear whether NBC News’ rules have actually applied to MSNBC, numerous other journalists have done just what Olbermann did — but that’s the gist of it.

ITS covers were often provocative, whether discussing sexual taboos in Islam or addressing the king in gutsy slang. But Nichane , a Casablanca magazine that announced its closure last week, was most unusual because it was published in darija , Morocco’s Arabic dialect.
