When a newspaper decides not to publish an “inflammatory and insensitive” letter to its editorial board or an op-ed carrying a “controversial” point of view, its readers should start following a different newspaper.
Since its launch, 16 years ago, Daily News Egypt has been occupying a front-row seat chronicling truthfully what happens in Egypt and the region. We take pride in being Egypt’s only independent English-language newspaper.
Media outlets should be a bastion of free speech. Once a newspaper censors opinions because someone could be offended by them, it puts itself in a controversial territory. Fascism only starts out by censoring distasteful speech. We have never been and never will be the opinion tasting committee.
Daily News Egypt provides a snapshot of Egyptian affairs in different sectors to a diverse set of readers inside the country, local and foreign businesspeople, and those who had never stepped a foot in the country.
Almost a decade after its restructure, Daily News Egypt succeeded in setting new standards in the Egyptian journalism. It presented a model to follow for credibility and professionalism.
This credibility springs from the separation between its editorial identity, advertisements, and impartiality in delivering news, removed from bias. These standards have helped DNE be the most circulated English-language newspaper in Egypt.
