This paper aims to study the diffusion and utilization of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Egyptian newsrooms. Furthermore, the study examines whether/to what extent and in what way Egyptian newsrooms incorporate ICTs in their daily routine. For Egyptian media organizations in general, the diffusion of ICTs proved to be a form of slow evolutionary process, with news organizations adopting ICTs according to their structural needs. Studying the utilization of ICTs inside Egyptian newsrooms has revealed wide variations between the types of organisation and their utilization of ICTs. Government media organisations and journalists seemed to not yet understand the use of ICTs. The liberal hopes that accompanied the advent of ICTs in government media management were dashed by a strict centralised political system, which believes that controlling content is important for dominating mass opinion and stabilising the political system. Government media online presence is still seen as an add-on tool to traditional media. On the other hand, independent and non-partisan newspapers are utilising ICTs as a tool that can help journalists to become active in an increasingly dynamic networked society.
