Nineteen years ago, I
had a dream of publishing an independent, young, dynamic newspaper: the outcome
was Al-Ghad. Despite several nightmares along the way, the dream did come true.
Today Al-Ghad is “the number one most read newspaper in Jordan” (according to
government sources). Yet that was not my sole purpose. Al-Ghad was to stand by
the youth for the youth, to push boundaries and to flirt with the newest
technologies. I am proud to say that Al-Ghad continues to grow and remains one
of the top newspapers in the region. Al-Ghad has achieved most of my original
goals but not all.

Today I get another
chance to fulfil all my goals! Although
Jordan News is a completely new
initiative, and it is its own separate entity, its foundation comes from
Al-Ghad and will, in turn, endeavor to learn from Al-Ghad’s achievements and
from its disappointments.
Jordan News is a
multimedia collective/platform that is an innovative initiative for delivering
news with integrity to the public, which it aims to serve.
Jordan News is not a
static venture. It is a flexible, multifaceted platform that is a player in
transforming the media landscape of the past and present into the future.
Jordan News, above all
else, has at its heart a simple goal: the pursuit of truth. The truth is what
the Jordanian public deserves and is what they should expect at all times from
Jordan News. Born into this time of adversity the world is currently facing,
characterized by an ongoing pandemic and an increasingly polarized environment,
where the need for credible, objective and unbiased media is crucial,
Jordan
News serves a purpose.
The creation of
Jordan
News was no small feat. I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to the
tireless efforts of my team, the editors, creators, writers, and journalists
who have worked countless hours to make this dream a reality. I would also like
to thank you, the readers, who are the most important piece in this ventured
puzzle. Together we take small steps together and leap into a future of
possibility. A future of hope through transparency is only possible in
partnership with you, the reader.
As a team,
Jordan News
has tremendous challenges ahead but in the words of His Majesty King Abdullah:
“The Arab world is writing a new future; the pen is in our hands.” Indeed, the
pen is in our hands.
