Jordan print journalism faces crisis amid digital shift
Print journalism in Jordan is facing a significant crisis due to declining readership and sales. Since the early 1990s, there has been a noticeable decrease, which worsened after the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the suspension of newspaper printing for several months. The root of the crisis lies in the growing reliance on digital platforms and social media, which have captured the audience's attention. Additionally, weak governmental support and rising production costs have contributed to the deterioration of newspapers' financial situations, leading many to cease publication. Increased government interference has further driven the public away from print newspapers, which have become seen as merely reflecting the authorities' viewpoints, posing a serious threat to their future viability.
