developments in the approval of the Independent Public Information Station Regulation No. (53) for the year 2015. The purpose of the establishment of this station is to create an independent media platform that takes into account openness and maintain communication with citizens and take into consideration their needs on the one hand and to keep pace with the continuous development in media on the other . - The Press and Publications Law is still in force, despite the provision for the establishment of the presumptive liability of the editor, the writer of the article and the owner of the publication, as well as the responsibility of the website for readers' commentaries as being part of the journalistic material. It is also well known that the Law still subjects news websites to registration requirements. The same applies to other publications which are subject to registration and not just by a mere notification. As for the impact of the Jordan Media Strategy (2011-2015) on freedom of expression for journalists and bloggers, as well as for the current stage of establishing a media complaints board, it should be noted that: The specific timeframes for the implementation of the Information Strategy for the years 2011-2015 has completed, which was designed initially to promote an enabling environment for independent and enlightened Jordanian media based on the following principles: (a) a favorable legislative environment that balances between freedom and responsibility; (B) A high professionalism for media professionals based on sustainable substantive training. (C) self-regulation of the profession and adherence to its ethics. The following paragraphs highlights what has been achieved in the legislation and self-regulation of the profession: First: Legislation The Media Strategy for the years (2011-2015) pointed to the need to "review the national legislations governing the media work or related to the performance of this sector, so that these legislations become motivational tools to raise the performance of media in form and substance, in line with the principles of democracy and international standards of human rights." - - There are legislations that have not yet been amended, most notably; the Contempt of Courts Act , the Protection of State Secrets and Documents Act and the Right to Information Act, which is still under consideration in the House of Representatives, and the government had made a proposal for amending the Law for many years. This is in addition, to the existing problem of the need of a legislative review of these laws as one package and amend them in order to ensure the consistency and non-intersection or contradiction of their provisions, as usually happens, when revision is conducted individually or at longer intervals. It is worth mentioning that the laws that have been amended are the Press and Publications Law, the Penal Code, the State Security Court Law, and the Information Systems Crimes Law. All of these laws, even where they contained some positive aspects, but the amendments, which affected most their provisions, extended the scope of restrictions imposed on freedom of expression and freedom of the press and media in the Kingdom. Second: Self-regulation of the press profession and the establishment of the media complaints board 21
