The Political Economy of Egyptian Media

Angebote / Angebote:

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 of communication', it focuses on popular privately-owned newspapers and TV channels and their ownerships using a qualitative approach involving 20 interviews conducted over five years with key actors and experts in the Egyptian media landscape for unprecedented insight. The first book on the political economy of Egyptian media, the book serves as a case study and a country profile and will be of appeal to scholars and experts of Middle Eastern Studies, media and the political economy of communication, among others.
