The total number of licensed electronic publications also rose to 148 following the licensing of four new publications during the year.
2025 saw the adoption of Jordan's second National Strategy for Media and Information Literacy, covering the period 2026 to 2029. Chat rooms on some gaming platforms were also blocked during the year to protect children from digital exploitation.
In its recommendations, the NCHR stressed the need to develop a national media strategy that safeguards press freedoms, implement executive commitments to an artificial intelligence ethics charter and personal data protection, and continue raising public awareness of the right to access information and the limits of freedom of expression.
