The Jordan Times is an English-language daily newspaper based in Amman, Jordan.

History

Established in 1975,^[2] The Jordan Times is owned by the Jordan Press Foundation, a shareholding company which also runs the Arabic-language daily Al Ra'i, the Kingdom's best-selling newspaper.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

The Jordan Press Foundation has been majority government-owned since its inception, but it is unclear how much the government's stake has fallen since 2000, when a plan to sell some of the Foundation's shares was announced. The Jordan Times maintains editorial independence from its sister daily Al Ra'i.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}
