EGYPT - NEWSPAPERS - INTERNET
A woman sits in a chair next to newspapers on display at a newsstand along Kasr al-Aini street in the centre of Egypt's capital Cairo on February 17, 2022. Newspaper sellers were once a dime a dozen on Cairo's bustling streets, but now the vendors hawking hot-off-the-press editions have fallen almost silent. As elsewhere in the world, Egypt's print media has been in sharp decline as news has moved mostly online and readers tend to stay up to date via their smartphones. In Egypt, a country of 103 million, the trend has been especially stark since the government, which publishes most newspapers, has also raised their prices.
