The crisis erupted during a meeting between Minister of State for Information Diaa Rashwan and around 70 content creators and influencers on Sunday, November 1, after Hamdy Ashour accused journalists of taking money to publish or remove stories about him. Journalist and content creator Gerges Fikry objected to the broad accusations, according to his account. The meeting lasted more than four hours, with over 40 people taking part in the discussion. Fikry accused Ashour of posting an edited clip of the incident and announced that he would file a complaint with the Journalists’ Syndicate and take legal action. He called on Ashour to identify those accused and provide evidence. The text did not include a direct response from Ashour. A senior source at the Ministry of State for Information said Ashour’s remarks should not be taken as applying to journalists generally, and that the meeting was part of a series of gatherings. The source also said content creators could establish an association to regulate their work, and announced that the ministry was ready to hold their first forum in early 2027.
