About Egab
Egab is a web-based media, expert, and field research platform for international and regional newsrooms, organizations, and Global South journalists and specialists who need credible on-the-ground reporting, commentary, and primary data.
Key capabilities include:
- Story pitching and commissioning workflow: journalists submit pitches, editors review and provide feedback, approved pitches get circulated to media partners, and commissioned stories publish with full credit.
- Newsroom marketplace and requests: outlets can browse and filter pitches by region and theme, or request specific coverage and receive journalist recommendations.
- Payment facilitation: once a story is published, the outlet pays through the platform and the journalist receives payment (designed to reduce invoice chasing).
- Global Majority Expert Network: a verified directory of experts (academics, policy advisors, civil society leaders, and specialists) searchable by topic, country/region, and language for commentary, background briefings, op-eds, advisory panels, and speaking engagements.
- Global Majority Data Insights: mobilizes local journalists to gather verified survey responses and stakeholder consultations from hard-to-reach communities on short timelines.
- Editorial support and translation: supports international coverage needs, including editing and translation for cross-region reporting.
Available on Web (including journalist sign-in and onboarding via app.egab.co).
Target users include media outlets and newsrooms, NGOs and multilateral organizations, and consulting or policy teams needing local reporting, expert input, or primary research, plus freelance journalists and verified experts primarily across the Middle East, Africa, and the broader Global South.
Notable in the African and MENA context, it is headquartered in Cairo (founded 2020) and reports a network of 3,000+ verified journalists and experts across 100+ countries, 1,000+ stories published, and partnerships with 70+ media outlets, supporting cross-border reporting, translation, and research without maintaining foreign bureaus.
