In the fourth episode, Rana Daoud tackles the topic of media repression and press freedom. Monitored, controlled and even abused, many journalists throughout the region are still victims of authoritarian state practices, despite several improvements that have taken place over the past decade. 

The Egyptian media outlet Mada Masr, established in 2013, is a striking example of this practice, as the site has been censored since 2017 and its employees are regularly harassed and arrested by Egyptian authorities. According to Sherif Mansour, violations against journalists are steadily on the rise, even resulting in assassinations, as in the case of Jamal Khashoggi. 

Mansour additionally noted that surveillance is increasingly used on a legislative level. Under the pretext of fighting terrorism and cybercrime, authorities are targeting journalists and online media outlets such as Mada Masr, in the attempt to further stifle the independent press.

 Episode guests, in order of appearance:     

Lina Attalah, Editor-in-Chief and Co-Founder of  Mada Masr

Sherif Mansour, Programm Coordinator  for the Middle East and North Arica at the Committee for the Protection of International Journalists (CPJ).

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
