Journalistic Autonomy in Egypt
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 5 page paper discussing the state of media freedom in Egypt for the purpose of determining Egypt’s media system type. The paper concludes that Egypt’s system is a transitional one. Formerly repressed, it has enjoyed more freedom than nearly any other Middle East nation in the past. The Mubarak regime, however, progressively has reduced freedom of the press. A 1995 law disallows overt criticism of government figures and is ambiguous enough that the government can build any type of case against nearly any real or perceived offending member of the media. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
