Al Balagh (

: البلاغ "The Report") is a newspaper that has been in circulation since 1923 with some interruptions. The paper is headquartered in Cairo, Egypt.
History and profile
Al Balagh was launched by Abdul Qadir Hamzah in Cairo in 1923.[1] He started the paper shortly after the suspension of his previous publication, a newspaper entitled Al Ahali.[2] The first issue of Al Balagh appeared on 28 June 1923.[3] The publisher is a company with the same name.[4] Hamzah also served as the editor-in-chief of the paper.[5]
Until 1937 the paper was close to the
Al Aqsa mosque.[8]
The major rival of Al Balagh was Al Siyasa which was the media outlet of the Liberal Constitutional Party, and the rivalry between them continued until 1951 when the latter ceased publication.[1] Both papers launched a weekly edition in 1926.[1] That of Al Balagh was entitled Al Balagh Al Usbuʿi which was started in November that year.[1]
