## About

Egypt Independent rolls daily through Cairo's news cycle as one of Egypt's principal English-language news platforms, with coverage of Egyptian politics, economy, business and regional affairs published under Al-Masry Al-Youm's editorial structure. The pace is digital-first and the register relatively establishment-balanced, with editorials that have generally tracked centrist framing on contested topics in a tightly constrained press environment. Its post-2013 reincarnation distinguishes the current Egypt Independent from the original 2009 to 2013 publication.

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
