Mustafa Abdo Highlights Youths’ Role in Digital Media Development

Mustafa Abdo, Editor-in-Chief of Akhbar Al-Youm Portal, confirmed that the shift toward digital media requires investing in and developing young talent. This is especially important given that more than 21.8 million Egyptian youths between the ages of 18 and 29 represent approximately 47% of the workforce, making them a key pillar in building a modern media industry capable of fostering societal awareness. He also emphasized the importance of regulating relationships with social media platforms, particularly in light of criticisms directed at their algorithms that prioritize engagement over credibility. Additionally, some countries have taken measures to limit young users’ access to these platforms, while efforts are increasing to ensure the accuracy and professionalism of content produced by official media institutions—serving as a safeguard to counter the fluidity of digital news and protect society.
