Status of Egyptian media
Egyptian radio and TV channels are controlled by the government. However, in the past few years, several private satellite stations have been established in the country.
Egyptian print media can be divided into the following categories:
- Owned by the Egyptian government or the ruling national democratic party.
- Governmental. These publications are not owned by the Egyptian government, but since the Egyptian president appoints the head of the Shura Council (Senate) who is also, de facto, the head of the Higher Press Council that appoints the chair and board of directors of many publishing houses in Egypt, government influence is very strong.
- Belonging to an Egyptian opposition party
- Independent publications, not linked to government or any opposition party
