This book critically analyses the hegemony of Egypt’s business and military elites and the private media they own or control. Arguing that this hegemony requires the exercise of power to maintain consent under changing conditions such as the 2011 uprising and the 2013 military coup, the book answers the central question of why and how Egypt’s ruling elites control the media. Situated within the interdisciplinary domain of ‘critical political economy’ (CPE), the book focuses on popular privately-owned newspapers and TV channels and their ownership using a qualitative approach involving fifteen interviews conducted over seven years with key actors and experts in the Egyptian media landscape for unprecedented insight. As the first book on the political economy of Egyptian media, The Political Economy of Egyptian Media serves as a case study and a country profile and will be of appeal to scholars and experts of Middle Eastern studies, political sciences, media and the political economy of communication, among others.
Maher Hamoud is an Associate Scholar at the University of Leuven, Belgium. He teaches political economy, and his research focuses on development politics in the Global South.
