## About the product

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.
