- Abstract
Egytian Journalism was born in the early Nineteenth Century, parallel to the re-forms introduced during the time of Kavalali Mehmed Ali Pasha. The number of the periodicals in the form of official and private, proliferated only after 1870s. The British occupation in 1882 marked a watershed for the rise of journalism in Egypt. National awakening against the foreign infiltration was articulated in the columns of newspapers. Egypt was still under the nominal suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire and Abdülhamid II found in press a cheap and non-violent ins-trument to wage a latent fight against the British authorities in Egypt in order to maintain his sovereign rights as sultan and religious rights as the caliph. Al-Say-yädT sent his followers from Istanbul on mission to Egypt in order to found perio-dicals. The main of these news organs was to form a public opinion loyal to the Ottoman Empire. The periodicals founded by his followers spread his political and spiritual influence in the Arab provinces in general and Egypt in particular.
