Nile News

Nile News (Arabic: النيل للأخبار) is an Arabic-language television news channel. Launched on 6 October 1998, the channel is based in Cairo, Egypt, and is partly owned by the Egyptian television. Being owned by the government has caused the channel to fall under its influence, and lacking freedom of expression, unlike other networks such as Al-Jazeera.[1]
