المستخلص: This study identifies the in¬formation sources of the foreign non¬Arab residents in Egypt about the current events and investigates the role of the Egyptian and international newspapers and magazines in pro¬viding them with such information about the important issues and af¬fairs, shedding lights on the foreign¬ers' motivations behind reading the different kinds of newspapers and magazines and the gratifications ob¬tained by such usage. Within the framework of the uses and gratifications approach and me¬dia dependency theory, the study employs both quantitative and qual¬itative data analysis methods to come up with deeper illustrations and explanations. 250 respondents participated in the survey while 10 foreign residents participated in the in-depth interviews. The findings of the research showed that foreign residents in Egypt tended to depend on a mix of sources to acquire information about the current affairs including Egyptian media, media from their homelands as well as international media out¬lets. A positive correlation was found between the length of the foreigners' stay in Egypt and the degree of their dependence on the Egyptian Arabic language television, newspapers and magazines to get information about the current events.
