ONTV's Reem Maged on the relationship between the Egyptian media and the military - March 28, 2012
Maged talks about the challenges of anchoring in a media environment still largely controlled the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). “The relationship is very complicated and it is very difficult to separate opinion from news, given the flawed media system and the intentionally misleading tactics adopted by SCAF in their communication with the public. It's very difficult not to criticize SCAF and to be objective when covering their actions.” AUC professor of practice and Dream TV 2 host Hafez Al Mirazi moderated the panel which took place at AUC's New Cairo campus on March 28, 2012.

Al-Manar's coverage indicates that the station isn't simply interested in its own viewpoint.

Jihad on Horseback Part 1
Two years ago, Al Arabiya producer Nabil Kassem was asked to put together a documentary film on Darfur. What he witnessed there, and recorded in this film, were scenes of unspeakable brutality and untold suffering, scenes he thought would surely wake up an Arab public all too willing to let Darfur pass by. But 'Jihad on Horseback' never made it across the airwaves. Watch part 1 of the film to see perhaps the most provocative Arab documentary ever made.
