MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN CAIRO
State ownership heavily influences the Egyptian press market, with historic flagship dailies dominating national circulation alongside a growing sector of private publications. The newspaper Al Ahram, established in 1875, serves as the primary state-owned daily and produces foreign-language editions including the French Al Ahram Hebdo. It operates alongside other state-run titles like Al Gomhuria, founded in 1953. Meanwhile, privately owned dailies such as Al Masri Al Youm provide independent coverage for local readers. Paperboy lists 31 newspapers in Cairo.
