Al Jarida (Arabic: الجريدة, lit. 'The Newspaper') was an Arabic language liberal newspaper which was published in Cairo, Egypt, from 1907 to 1914. The paper was the official organ of the Umma Party. It was one of the publications that shaped the Egyptian nationalist culture containing the Westernized elements and was very influential during its existence.[1]
History and profile
Al Jarida was established in 1907 as a biweekly publication.[1] The same year the Umma Party was also founded, and Al Jarida became the official media outlet of the party.[1] The paper was founded Ahmad Lutfi Al Sayyid and Talaat Harb.[2][3] The former was also the editor of the paper.[1][4] The contributors were young writers and intellectuals as well as feminists.[4] They included Mohammed Hussein Heikal[2] and Malak Hifni Nasif, a woman writer and poet who was also known as Bahithat Al Badiya.[4] The paper frequently covered economy-related articles some of which were written by Talaat Harb.[3]
