Egypt’s Media Law Sets Out Procedures for Correcting News Reports

Egypt’s Law No. 180 of 2018 governs procedures for correcting news that has been published or broadcast, placing those corrections within the country’s legal framework for press and media regulation.

The legislation introduced the law regulating the press, media and the Supreme Council for Media Regulation. News correction procedures are among the matters it addresses.

The provisions concern both published reports and broadcast news. The subject therefore extends beyond corrections to written articles alone.

For anyone seeking to understand how a news report can be corrected, the legislation is the relevant legal reference. The available summary does not specify filing requirements, deadlines or the steps involved in submitting a correction request.
