An important and much-needed book, filling a large gap in the literature on media and power in Egypt. The Political Economy of Egyptian Media takes on the intimate links between political, economic, and media hegemonies in pre and post-revolutionary Egypt. Maher Hamoud shows how a political-economic-media nexus dating back to Nasser's era has been constituted in shifting ways, but that there has also been a continuity in advancing the control of Egypt's elites. These continuities are key, but so too is how Sisi's Egypt has shifted to prioritizing the control by military institutions of Egypt's media. Hamoud's insights are essential for understanding both continuities in authoritarianism in Egypt as well as the distinct specifics of how the Sisi regime maintains his power., "Adopting a critical political economy approach and drawing on interviews with media experts, Hamoud problematizes the notion that a privatized media can be truly independent and instead, convincingly shows how vested economic and political interests control, shape, and dominate the media and determine the content of public discourse. The book addresses the puzzle of how the Egyptian people demanded the removal of long ruling authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak only to end up supporting a military coup that established military rule. By tracing the evolution of the media landscape in post-uprising Egypt, Hamoud demonstrates how the media has played an important role in legitimizing power relations and determining which discourses became legitimate and dominant, and which discourses were prohibited and banned. By showing how media control plays an important role in shaping public opinion and political outcomes, Hamoud makes an important contribution to media studies and political economy." --Angela Joya, Carleton University "An important and much-needed book, filling a large gap in the literature on media and power in Egypt.

Synopsis
This book critically analyses the hegemony of Egypt's business and military elites and the private media they own or control. Arguing that this hegemony requires the exercise of power to maintain consent under changing conditions such as the 2011 uprising and the 2013 military coup, the book answers the central question of why and how Egypt's ruling elites control the media. Situated within the interdisciplinary domain of 'critical political economy' (CPE), the book focuses on popular privately-owned newspapers and TV channels and their ownership using a qualitative approach involving fifteen interviews conducted over seven years with key actors and experts in the Egyptian media landscape for unprecedented insight. As the first book on the political economy of Egyptian media, The Political Economy of Egyptian Media serves as a case study and a country profile and will be of appeal to scholars and experts of Middle Eastern studies, political sciences, media and the political economy of communication, among others.
