History and profile

Rose al-Yūsuf was first published on 26 October 1925.[1][2] The magazine was named after its founder, Rose al Yusuf.[3][4] It is published by the Rose al Yusuf group[5] and is based in Cairo.[6]

The founding editor of the magazine was Mohamed El-Tabii until 1934.[7] He had a great role in establishing the paper alongside its founder Rose al Yusuf,[8] a Syrian-born female journalist.[5] Other renowned Egyptian journalists worked later on as editors, including Mostafa Amin and Ali Amin. Armenian-Egyptian cartoonist Alexander Saroukhan drew the cover page of the magazine from March 1928 to 1934.[7] Rakha and Zuhdi, Egyptian cartoonists, also contributed to the magazine.[7]

The magazine was started as a cultural and literary publication by Rose al Yusuf, but became a political magazine by 1928.[9] In the early period the magazine was a fierce critic of the Wafd Party.[10] In 1935, the publisher added a daily newspaper with the same name. Both are published in Arabic. Although Rose al-Yūsuf is a political magazine, it also covers entertainment news.[3] In 1960 President Gamal Nasser nationalized the magazine, which began to be controlled by the Egyptian government.[11][12] The magazine had a leftist leaning[3] during the presidencies of Nasser and Anwar Sadat.[5]

In 1957 Ihsan Abdel Quddus was the editor-in-chief.[13] Since the government took control in 1960, the editors-in-chief of the magazine have been appointed by the Shura Council.[14] In July 2005 Abdallah Kamal was appointed editor-in-chief, replacing Mohamed Abdel Moneim.[14][15] He served in the post until 2011.[16] In ِApril 2011 Osama Salama became the editor-in-chief, but left his post when the Muslim Brotherhood came to the power.[17] Essam Abdelaziz replaced him in the post. In 2014 Ibrahim Khalil became the editor-in-chief[18] and served in the post until 30 May 2017.

On 31 May 2017, 36-year-old Hany Abdullah became editor-in-chief of Rose al-Yūsuf who was the youngest editor-in-chief[19][20][21] since the nationalization of the press in Nasser's era.

The weekly sold 250,000 copies in 2000.[22]
