The Jordan Times is an English daily newspaper in Amman, Jordan. The newspaper was established in 1975 and is owned by the Jordan Press Foundation, which also runs the Arabic-language daily Al Ra'i, the Kingdom's best selling daily.
The Jordan Press Foundation has been majority government-owned since its inception, but it's unclear how much the government's stake has fallen since a plan to sell some of its shares was announced in 2000. The Jordan Times maintains editorial independence from its sister daily Al Rai.

Famous quotes containing the words jordan and/or times:
“To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
“Seven times tried that judgment is
That did never choose amiss.
Some there be that shadows kiss,
Such have but a shadow’s bliss.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
