Khaled Salah Reaffirms Commitment to Editorial Independence

Khaled Salah has defended his news organisation’s editorial independence in a column reflecting on the rumours and political and media criticism it has faced since its launch.

Writing under the title “One Word,” Salah expressed pride in the organisation’s young journalists, saying the persistent allegations had not weakened their resolve.

He recalled editorial meetings at which staff reaffirmed their commitment to independent news coverage, even as the organisation faced attacks from different quarters.

Salah said its coverage had angered someone every day, both before and after the revolution, presenting that experience as part of its pursuit of an independent editorial approach.

The column’s headline framed the piece as a new step towards affirming full editorial independence, though the supplied excerpt did not specify what that step would involve.
