Egypt has one of the Arab world's oldest and most influential newspaper industries, with a rich tradition of journalism dating back to Napoleon's invasion in 1798. Egyptian newspapers serve a population of over 100 million and are read widely across the Arab world — from the great national dailies of Cairo to thriving independent digital outlets. Egyptian media covers national politics, the economy, cultural affairs, and the country's pivotal role at the heart of Arab and African affairs.
Among the most widely read Egyptian newspapers online is Al-Ahram, one of the oldest and most prestigious newspapers in the Arab world, founded in 1875. Al-Masry Al-Youm is Egypt's most influential independent daily, while Youm7 is the country's most visited news website. For English-language coverage, Egypt Independent and Daily News Egypt are the top sources for international readers. For TV news, CBC Egypt and ON TV are the leading private channels. Sports fans follow Filgoal and Kooora for Egyptian Premier League and football coverage, with the Egyptian national team — the Pharaohs — one of Africa's most successful football sides.
