About Egypt Independent
Egypt Independent operates as a subsidiary of Al-Masry Media Corporation, a private joint stock company established in 2003. The company's founding and controlling shareholder is Egyptian businessman Salah Diab, reflecting family and business interests rather than state or political party dominance.
Egypt Independent was founded in 2009 as the digital English supplement to the Arabic-language daily Al-Masry Al-Youm, later launching a weekly print edition in 2011 before ceasing print operations in 2013 due to financial losses. In 2013, its parent company, Al-Masry Media Corporation, halted the publication of a final print edition after scrutinizing its content, which aimed to discuss challenges to press freedom in Egypt. Operating in Egypt's 'not-free' media environment, where civil liberties and press freedom are tightly restricted, and website blocking and journalist arrests are common, the outlet faces significant external pressures. Third-party media analysis from Ground News currently rates Egypt Independent's media bias and factuality as 'unknown'.
