NPA to announce new digitization strategy for Egyptian state-owned newspapers

The National Press Authority will announce in the “next few weeks” a new strategy to digitize Egypt’s three state-owned papers — Al Ahram, Al Akhbar, and Al Gomhuria — the authority said in a statement picked up by Ahram Online. The strategy will aim to “employ radical solutions” to face dwindling revenues from the paper press and raise distribution and advertising rates.
