Farid Zahran on publishing legacy and session review
The discussion highlighted the successes and challenges facing the publishing industry in Egypt. Fared Zahran emphasized that his first term as head of the Publishers Union has been difficult and requires deep reforms, including amendments to the union's law, which dates back to the 1960s and lacks modern relevance. He stressed the importance of strengthening the union's role in organizing the publishing sector and supporting it as a vital source of Egypt's soft power, with a focus on protecting publishers' rights and improving investments and legislation. Additionally, he explained that economic challenges, such as rising paper prices and geopolitical tensions, are affecting the market. However, he underscored the need to support public libraries and simplify export procedures to elevate the status of Egyptian books on both regional and international stages.
