EGAB's work is a vital asset for English-language coverage of the Middle East, connecting global audiences with professional, insightful reporting on the most important political, social, and cultural issues in the region. Their editors and journalists work tirelessly to deliver stories that matter.
Working with Egab enabled us to report on a very marginalized and often overlooked group — women with autism in Yemen. The story was an important part of a series on marginalized communities around the world, and this valuable collaboration enabled that crucial access.
Egab is a critical link between international newsrooms and local journalists, providing editorial support and translation services. Working with Egab has been invaluable for our coverage of the Gaza war, particularly facilitating the long-term relationship between The New Humanitarian and correspondent Mohamed Soulaimane in Gaza.
The Continent faced a challenge covering North Africa without Arabic speakers. Egab solved this by delivering well-reported stories from local journalists, expertly edited and translated. This bridges the information divide between North and Sub-Saharan Africa. We're excited to expand this collaboration in 2025.
Working with Egab gave me the opportunity to tell the African story from a positive perspective. The exemplary editorial guidance helped me develop my pitching and writing skills for an international audience. Joining the Egab network was the best decision I ever made.
I’ve always considered journalism as an ongoing adventure, and with Egab’s help, I get to overcome all of the challenges that might come my way starting from finding the right angle to pitch to getting recognized by some of the world's best news organizations.
Egab doesn't just help you publish—they provide hands-on teaching of new journalism approaches that transform how you work. This practical learning is invaluable. With Egab's support, young journalists master methods that make them stand out and succeed in competitive international markets.
Working with Egab put me in the spotlight, exposing my writing to international readers I never thought I could reach. At this point in my career, connecting with audiences beyond my local community is everything.
Thank you, Egab.
I saw how Egab helped journalists from different countries reach global media and knew I wanted the same. They helped me publish my first report from Sanaa on The National, giving me a platform to share successful initiatives born amid Yemen's war with international readers.
