Founded in 2005 by Egyptian publisher Issandr El Amrani and former editor-in-chief Rania Al Malky alongside local investors, Daily News Egypt (dailynewsegypt.com) came into being to offer an independent, English-language perspective on Egyptian affairs. The idea sparked when the founders recognized a strong demand among foreign diplomats, expatriates, and international investors for a reliable, locally produced daily English newspaper covering fast-moving political and business developments in the country. After undergoing changes in ownership and temporary publication halts during political shifts in Egypt, the media outlet is currently owned and published by Egyptian Media Group (EMG). Today, dailynewsegypt.com covers Egyptian politics, regional foreign affairs, business, macroeconomics, arts, culture, lifestyle, and sports news across Egypt and the Middle East. Operating out of Cairo, Egypt, the digital publication serves both local residents and international readers seeking daily coverage of Egyptian current events. One interesting fact: A unique fact about Daily News Egypt is that for several years, it held an exclusive partnership with the prestigious International New York Times (then known as the International Herald Tribune), delivering both newspapers bundled together in a single daily print package across Egypt.
