Founded in 2005, Daily News Egypt (DNE) is an English-language independent daily newspaper. At that time it still went by the name The Daily Star Egypt. It focuses on local economic affairs, news, politics, culture and analysis. It is distributed together with the International Herald Tribune, the only international English-language newspaper published in Egypt. Like other independent media, DNE has been subject to state censorship and harassment, for example in May 2017 when its online presence was blocked.
