Connect your expertise with journalists reporting for international media seeking authentic voices from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
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.

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

We're accepting the first 100 experts into the network as Founding Members.
Egab connects underrepresented experts with journalists at outlets like CNN, BBC, and The Guardian — at no cost to either side for placements. We don't charge for connections, and we never will. This isn't a PR service.
To build and sustain this network, we ask Founding Members for a $10 annual contribution that covers:
This isn't a fee for your expertise. It's a shared investment in the infrastructure that makes your expertise discoverable by 2,700+ journalists worldwide.
As a Founding Member, your annual rate is capped at $10 for two years, and you'll have input into how the network evolves.
Your contribution is only charged after your profile is reviewed and approved.
Egab was founded by Dina Aboughazala, a former BBC journalist who spent 15 years working inside the international news ecosystem and saw firsthand how voices from the Global South were systematically underrepresented in global reporting.
Egab is backed by Google News Initiative, 500 Global, Media Development Investment Fund, and Den VC.
