Connecting journalists with the world's leading newsrooms

Why This

Maters

International media often relies on the same handful of experts, marginalizing voices from Global Majority countries and perpetuating incomplete narratives. Stories about Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East are frequently told through Western lenses, missing critical local context and lived expertise.

We're changing that.

Egab has helped publish 600+ stories in 2025 from journalists across 60+ countries in outlets like The Guardian, BBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera. Now we’re building a verified expert directory to make academics, researchers, and specialists easily discoverable to 2,000+ journalists covering your regions and areas of expertise.

This is about ensuring that global conversations about your region include perspectives grounded in knowledge, context, and lived experience.

What this is and isn’t
Egab is not a PR agency. We don’t pitch you to journalists or promise media coverage. We provide the infrastructure that makes it easier for journalists to find credible experts from the regions they cover.

We’re prioritizing experts working in the following areas:
AI & Technology
