Egypt state media changed tune after the fall of Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian rule. Immediately upon his fall from power last Friday, Egypt's main state-owned dailies turned against Mubarak, proclaimed the victory of the revolution and launched into apologetics for their coverage of an uprising that started on 25th January. The shift on state television was no less seismic. Nationalistic songs in the tradition of the 1960s were replaced by montages of brave youth marching for freedom set against a rock riff by Egyptian pop star Mohammed Mounir. The military, which realised the importance of media also met with senior journalists on Wednesday as part of efforts in recent days to persuade the media to present developments in a positive light.One of the demands of protesters and opposition groups was liberating the media, and they have followed through.On Egypt, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on Wednesday said India never interferes or gives any advice in any internal matter of any other country. However, Dr Singh said India welcomes the onset of democracy anywhere in the world.
