Here’s a really interesting post from The Arabist about growing political and economic problems within the Egyptian media scene, having to do especially with the government’s Al-Ahram publication and some of its dissenters, including well-known progressive writer Salama Ahmed Salama and Dar Al-Shurouk’s new popular newspaper Al-Shurouk. Read more about Al-Shurouk (from Al-Ahram) here.
Thanks to Rob at Arab Media Shack for originally posting the story.

Fair enough, but you posted the Arabist’s post about it, and I saw it on your blog.
