''The Egyptian Gazette'' is an English-language Egyptian daily, part of the ''Al Gomhuria'' group of news publications. First published on 26 January 1880, it is the oldest English-language newspaper in the Middle East. Khaled Bakir is chairman of the ''Gazettes board and Mohamed Kassem has been the editor-in-chief since 2014.〔 ==History== ''The Egyptian Gazette'' was founded in 1880 as a four-page weekly tabloid in Alexandria by five Britons, including Andrew Philip, as editor, and Moberly Bell, later managing editor of ''The Times'' in London.〔(''The Egyptian Gazette'' )〕 In the 1930s, Cairo became more important than Alexandria as a news centre and the newspaper's offices were moved to the Egyptian capital on 20 February 1938.〔 Shortly before World War II, ownership of ''The Egyptian Gazette'' passed to the ''Société Orientale de Publicité'' (SOP) ((英語:Eastern Publishing Company)), in which Oswald J. Finney, a wealthy British businessman, was the major shareholder. ''The Egyptian Gazette'' found itself associated with ''The Egyptian Mail'', another English-language Egyptian newspaper, founded in 1914, and also owned by the SOP. The market was split between the two dailies, with the ''Mail'' appearing in the morning, and the ''Gazette'' in the evening.〔 At the end of the war and with the departure of most of the British Army stationed in Egypt, the market for English-language newspapers shrank dramatically. As a result, and as continues to the present day, ''The Egyptian Gazette'' is published every day except Tuesdays, when the now-weekly ''The Egyptian Mail'' appears.〔 In May 1954, following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 and the nationalization program of President Nasser, El Tahrir Printing and Publishing House took over ownership of the newspaper from the SOP. Amin Abul Enein was appointed managing editor, bringing the newspaper under the editorial authority of an Egyptian for the first time.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Egyptian Gazette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
