Let the war start between Al Dostor and Al Masry Al Youm publicly

I bet that Abdullah Kamal and Karm Gabr are so thrilled with this on going war between Al Masry Al Youm and Al Dostor !!

Here is an interview for Ibrahim Eissa in the Arabic Press society where he directly attacks Al Masry Al Youm newspaper and its publisher businessman Salah Diab saying that the rival newspaper steals the successful journalists from his newspaper. “In Arabic”

Well it is not only his newspaper and his journalists to be accurate as Al Masry Al Youm attracts other journalists from other newspapers with its salaries. It is not Al Masry Al Youm newspaper that does this , you got the new Al Shorouq whose salaries are more attractive to any journalist whether young or old.

Of course Al Masry Al Youm won’t sit like that in front of such accusation ; today it accused Al Dostor of stealing one of their stories !! The war is public now I guess !! “The story about how the Israeli rabbis killed Nasser they are speaking about; oh yes I think I may speak about this story soon insh Allah”

Press is just like any business,there is demand and supply , Ibrahim Eissa should not blame Diab for attracting his journalists because after all they are humans who are living in a very bad economic situation. Instead of blaming other publishers ,he and his publisher should sit down and find ways to finance their newspaper. I can’t blame Diab for trying to make his newspaper more successful.

Anyhow both Al Masry Al Youm and Al Dostor are facing tough challenge in the time of the internet.

P.S I like Al Dostor more than Al Masry Al Youm
