FORMATION OF THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENTAL PRESS OF THE XIX CENTURY AS A BASIS OF FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL JOURNALISM

Abstract

The article is devoted to analyzing the formation and early development of the Egyptian press in the first half - the middle of the XIX century, when, being the province of Ottoman Empire, the country, liberated from Napoleon’s troops, tended to pursue more autonomous internal and foreign policy. The author examines the activity of the first Egyptian periodicals issued during the reign of Muhammad Ali dynasty. The author concludes that the first Egyptian governmental newspapers and magazines published under close control of ruling circles laid the foundation for the Egyptian commercial press of the end of the XIX century which in the course of time became the best one in the Arabic world.
