Egyptian Streets

Mission

Egyptian Streets is an independent, young, and grass roots news media organization aimed at providing readers with an alternate depiction of events that occur on Egyptian and Middle Eastern streets, and to establish an engaging social platform for readers to discover and discuss the various issues that impact the region.

Today, most large news media organizations are old, traditionally served, and bloated platforms that fail to engage with readers and to touch on the ‘Stories That Matter’. By engaging with a wide spectrum of the community – from bloggers, activists, academics and more – Egyptian Streets manages to offer a much more unique and diverse perspective on the region, with all content published across its platforms being original content.
