The Supreme Media Council announced yesterday it has extended the deadline for submitting applications for news website permits an additional two weeks, according to Al Masry Al Youm. Some news websites were not able to submit their applications in time, council undersecretary Abdel Fattah El Gebaly said. The licenses apply to news websites whose capital exceeds EGP 100k a year under temporary licensing regs the council has issued last month. The regs are only in effect until the second part of the Press and Media Act is passed.
