Abstract

The study analyzed the Egyptian presidential elections in 2018 qualitatively on the channels of "France 24, BBC Arabic, Sky News Arabia" based on the theory of news framing. A comprehensive survey was conducted for all news releases and programs in the three channels from the start of the elections in March 2018 until the announcement of the results in April, the volume of news analyzed in the three channels reached 198 news and 43 paragraphs of news programs and special coverage of the Egyptian elections, and the qualitative analysis showed a clear difference between the treatment of France 24 and BBC Arabic on the one hand and Sky News Arabia on the other hand, while it was somehow similar between France 24 and BBC Arabic.
