The paper's politicized coverage since the 2011 Egyptian Revolution has led to calls for its boycott. We hope to get it figured out and back online soon!' As of, the Youm7 English Edition Twitter profile's last tweet was published on 21 December 2012. On 13 December 2012, the English Edition Twitter profile tweeted 'Dear followers, we are currently having a problem with our website. On 8 August 2011, managing director Sallie Pisch announced the launch of Youm7 English Edition, stating that the English-language paper aimed to fill the gap in 'quality, understandable news coverage coming out of Egypt in English.' Youm7 English Edition also managed an Egypt Wiki that 'aims to provide background info on Egyptian politicians, public figures and organizations in one location.' As of, the Youm7 English Edition appears to no longer be functioning, as the link to the English Edition homepage redirects to the Youm7 Arabic site. In an article published on the day the website launched, Pisch wrote that the goal for The Cairo Post was for it 'to become the news outlet to most faithfully portray Egypt, in all her intricacies, to all those who watch her and want to understand.' Īs of November 2013, the website was publishing roughly 200 stories daily, a combination of original content, articles translated from Youm7's Arabic news website, and wire services. On 6 October 2013 Youm7 launched an English-language website called The Cairo Post, under the direction of Sallie Pisch, who also directed the organization's short-lived 'Youm7 English Edition' in 2011 (see below). Ownership Īs of September 2020, Youm7 was owned by Egyptian Media Group, which was owned by United Media Services Group, which was itself owned by one of the Egyptian intelligence agencies ( Mukhabarat, military intelligence, National Security Agency). Youm7 was named by Industry Arabic as the second most influential Arabic paper in 2020.

In 2014 the paper launched a new website, Photo7, which is a portal for pictures in Egypt and the Arab world. In 2012, the paper's online version was the sixth most-visited website in Egypt based on the Alexa data. Editor Khaled Salah said shortly after the paper's expansion to daily publication that Youm7 'supports the popular need for a civil state and will strive to present facts to readers without political bias and with credible representation of diverse views.' Īccording to internet information service Alexa Internet, 59% of visitors to Youm7's website come from Egypt, and compared to internet users overall they are disproportionately higher-income college graduates and women browsing from home. Youm7 was first published as a weekly paper in October 2008 and has been published daily since. On 6 October 2013 it launched an English news website called The Cairo Post.
