Information Ecosystem Assessment – Jordan Media Landscape

The report explores Jordanian citizens' media habits, trust levels, and barriers to accessing information. The findings show that while social media, especially Facebook, remains dominant, there is a shift toward video-led platforms like TikTok. Trust in the media is low, with official institutions like the army and security services garnering higher trust than media outlets. Political news has limited appeal, and citizens express frustration with the media's inability to reflect their needs. The report highlights barriers like internet shutdowns, government control of narratives, and disinformation. Recommendations include improving media literacy and diversifying content.
