The Egyptian media has witnessed various changes in the ownership spectrum after the 2011 revolution. To explore this evolution, and through the Habermasian lens, this study examined ownership concentration in the 2019 media sphere in Egypt by mapping media outlets and their owners. It also investigated the relationship between this concentration and content diversity in a sample of print outlets in the first quarter of 2019. Three patterns of ownership concentration in the Egyptian media were identified: concentrated state ownership, concentrated private ownership, and not concentrated private ownership. Based on these findings, I argue that the media sphere in Egypt is dominated by a few gatekeepers, mostly the state, that influence content diversity and jeopardize the democratic public sphere in postrevolution Egypt.

埃及的所有权集中度和媒体多样性


埃及媒体目睹了 2011 年革命后所有权范围的各种变化。为了探索这种演变,并通过哈贝马斯的视角,本研究通过绘制媒体渠道及其所有者的地图,检查了埃及 2019 年媒体领域的所有权集中度。它还在 2019 年第一季度的印刷媒体样本中调查了这种集中度与内容多样性之间的关系。 确定了埃及媒体的三种所有权集中模式:集中的国有所有权、集中的私有所有权和不集中的私有所有权。基于这些发现,我认为埃及的媒体领域由少数看门人主导,主要是国家,他们影响内容多样性并危及革命后埃及的民主公共领域。
