| Abstract | ||
| The study examines the role of Egyptian online media, with its varying ownership patterns and political orientations, in shaping public understanding of the main national issues—namely inflation, the debt crisis, and the national political dialogue—during the years 2022–2023 (qualitatively) and in 2024 (quantitatively). Three private Egyptian online newspapers representing diverse media trends were selected: Al-Dustour, Youm7, and Al-Shorouk. These particular issues were chosen due to their direct impact on the daily lives of citizens during that period. Amid Egypt’s ongoing political and economic transformations, media assumes growing importance as a tool of political communication that influences public perceptions and guides awareness around these issues. The study focuses on how semiofficial, pro-government, and opposition-affiliated online newspapers addressed these topics, aiming to assess whether the media adhered to professional standards or was used as an instrument in political struggles. The research is grounded in two main theoretical frameworks: Framing Theory and Political Narrative Theory. These theories help explain how media reshapes social and political realities by highlighting specific aspects of issues while neglecting others. The sample includes three private Egyptian online newspapers representing diverse media trends: Al-Dustour, Youm7, and Al-Shorouk, selected to analyze their coverage of the inflation and debt crises during the year 2024—two of the most critical economic issues that directly affected citizens’ daily lives during that period. | ||
