Abstract

The founding of “Al Adoustour newspaper” which moved from Jerusalem to Amman after the 1967 war. During the period of the former Prime Minister Wasfi Ettel, four small scale newspapers united to constitute “Al Adoustour” which still exists. This newspaper was founded during an important political period in the Hachemite Kingdom. The future aspirations of its founders were overcome and the newspaper is published at a large scale. It includes different sections such as the cultural, the editorial and the news section. The newspaper Director, Raja Al Aissi, the oldest of the team, started his career in this newspaper, and Mohmoud Echaref is the founder of this “cultural monument”. Last but not least, a meeting with some journalists, editors and columnists.
