Egyptian journalists protest media's alignment with state
A number of Egyptian journalists have launched a petition to safeguard a "free press that opposes terrorism as well as despotism".
The move comes in refusal to a statement signed last week by the chief editors of most of Egypt's newspapers, in which they said they won't publish material that "shows support to terrorism, directly or indirectly", while also confirming their "refusal to doubts in state institutions and insults to the army, police and judiciary".
