I can’t believe I missed this. I’m glad Abu Aardvark picked it up:
Aljazeera reported that the editor-in-chief of the Jordanian newspaper
al Ghad, Imad al Hmoud, was fired by the paper’s administrative
council in light of the of al-Hilla bombing controversy.
Abu Aardvark also indicated that the section editor in which the
controversial story appeared had already resigned before this announcement. Ayman al Safadi, the former editor-in chief of the Jordan Times, then head of Jordan TV and most recently Jordan’s UN spokesman in Iraq, will replace Hmoud as al-Ghad’s editorial head.
The most fascinating part of any analysis of this whole scandal is how long gone the days are when Jordanian/Arab media could get away with publishing irresponsible material. Nowadays, everybody is watching!
amal,
hey i think this is the first time WE agree. You should most deffinetly take amal’s advice Abu Messab and hook up with Rivda.
Abu Messab,
Natasha is right, we enjoy this blog for its healthy debate. And if you aren’t married to Rivda, you two should hook up. You sound like you would make a perfect couple.
