"The main purpose of this White Paper is to highlight major findings from the two studies conducted within the scope of the USAID Jordan Media Assessment (JMA), specifically, the Media Landscape Analysis and the Digital Media Sector Assessment, and to respond to several additional questions grouped around three distinct topics: 1) Impediments on Professional Journalism; 2) Media Education; and 3) Media and Information Literacy (MIL). The introductory notes aim at framing the topics by providing a brief overview of relevant regional developments." (Introduction, page 2)
