In Transition

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Journalism Journalism Professions grade: 13 TU Dortmund (Journalistik) course: International Media Systems language: English abstract: This paper considers new developments in Jordan's media regulation and explores an brief analysis of the media environment. Jordan is a transitional system and enjoys an environment that is more tolerant in comparison with Jordan's regional neighbours. But the government still uses a variety of restrictions that are within the law. But the law is often blur and widely open to interpretation: Journalists still fear imprisonment and practice self-censorship because they're afraid of the intelligence service that acts behind the shadows of the government.
