As they say it's not over until the fat lady sings. Well she must still be in the back room drinking hot tea and loosening up her voice with an announcement like this: Reuters and the International Herald Tribune are combining to create a new weekly section in the paper -- on the Middle East, expanding insight into that region.

Reuters and International Herald Tribune launch new supplement
Badge Greensblade blog
Reuters and the International Herald Tribune are jointly launching a special supplement that will be inserted into IHT's Middle East editions on a weekly basis.The first four-page issue of Middle East with Reuters, to be published on Thursday, will contain regional news, opinion and coverage of culture.
It will draw on the output of more than 200 Reuters journalists who cover the Middle East at a local and international level.
IHT's publisher, Stephen Dunbar-Johnson, said: "We are excited to be expanding our collaboration with Reuters to provide even more analysis and fresh insight for our readers in the Middle East.
"There is a thirst here for the IHT's brand of high quality, independent journalism as reflected in our growing circulation numbers."
IHT has a new regional headquarters in Dubai. Meanwhile, over the last 18 months, Reuters has recruited dozens of new journalists to its Middle East bureaus, doubling the amount of original Arabic-language news it produces.
The joint launch emphasises the way in which large media organisations are now prepared to team up in order to reach wider audiences.
