"Al-Masry Al-Youm is a balanced newspaper financially and in terms of distribution," said Al-Masry Al-Youm Chairman Salah Diab on Monday evening.
Though Diab wanted to raise the price of the newspaper to LE2, the board of directors disapproved of the idea, he told TV channel LTC.
The chairman mentioned that the distribution of the Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper fell after the revolution, which was natural considering the contraction in the market.
The newspaper's distribution increased during the days of the revolution and reached 700,000 printed copies. Diab pointed out that it was unsurprising the rate decreased following the revolution, as it was an extraordinary event.
The newspaper has a considerable number of ads and is committed to the journalism industry, Diab added.
