AMMAN — The absence of truth and accurate information from the media will lead to the spread of rumours and the dissemination of misleading information, Minister of State for Media Affairs Amjad Adaileh said on Sunday.
During a meeting with media spokespersons at ministries and government institutions, Adaileh stressed the importance of swift announcements and responses to questions and inquiries by media outlets and the public. He noted that “the slow flow of information leads to ambiguity”, which fosters the spread of rumours and “confusion” among the public, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
