Egypt: Al Hurra Exposure

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Egypt

The exposure to US based Al Hurra channel and Radio Sawa increased in Egypt from 70% last year to 92% this year [1]. Al Hurra received tremendous negative media coverage and skepticism upon its inauguration. The Big Pharaoh blog gives credit to Al Hurra's correspondent in Egypt, Tarek El Shami [2] for this improvement in the channel exposure.
