Arabic term or phrase: صحافة رجال الاعمال
This is from the same Egyptian article about the connection between

I was thinking "the business press" or "business journalism" at first, but realized this is used in English for journalism discussing business news, not newspapers controlled by businessmen. Would "the pro-business press" be better, or are there other suggestions?

أما فيما يتعلق بظروف نشأة هذا النمط من الصحف في مصر، فإنه لا يمكن فهم ظهور هذه الصحافة بمعزل عن التطورات المهمة التي شهدتها مصر خلال العقد الأخير. فثمة تحول نحو اقتصاد السوق، وتشجيع رأس المال الخاص من خلاله منحه امتيازات واسعة النطاق باعتباره "القاطرة" التي تعول عليها الدولة لقيادة عملية الإصلاح والنمو الاقتصادي. وفي هذا الإطار، برزت جمعيات عديدة لرجال الأعمال، اهتمت بتحقيق مصالحهم الاقتصادية، والدفاع وعن رؤاهم وتصوراتهم بشأن عمليات الخصخصة والإصلاح الاقتصادي، وتحرير الاقتصاد، والحصول على المزيد من التسهيلات والإعفاءات الجمركية والضريبية.. إلخ.

Corporate journalism (as opposed to citizens' journalism)
Explanation:

From BRIAN C. JONES: I acknowledge that as a reporter for more than 40 years, I've never been much of an investigative reporter and rarely have had to face the issue of confidential sources. But I understand the importance of sources, and journalists' promise to protect them. Time magazine's decision to turn over its reporter's notes to the government in the CIA case betrays not only its own reporter, but all reporters. The message now is that **corporate journalism** can't be trusted.

Asker: Thanks, Abdelmonem. I'm not getting any google hits for "businessmen's journalism" though...


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Stephen Franke: One might also use "business literature" (the readership being mostly businessmen is implicit).
2 hrs
agree  Yasser El Helw: The context does not speak of journalism speaking of and read by businessmen. It speaks of media that is owned by businessmen and thus serves their purposes and not that of the public. At least, that's what the asker thinks!
16 hrs
  -> I fully understand the context, Yasser! It is you who does not understand my suggestion! something1+apostrophe+S+something2 means that something2 is owned by something1 :) replace something1 with businessmen and something2 with journalism :)

the press owned/controlled by pro-business interests


Explanation:
I suspect "businessmen" is a bit too literal, perhaps.
