IREX's Jordan Media Strengthening Program on May 3 will launch the Jordan News Media Stylebook. The comprehensive style guide--it covers print, broadcast, and online media--was produced for the Get Out the Vote Campaign ahead of the 2007 parliamentary elections and a parliamentary TV show. Only a handful of media outlets in Jordan have style guides. With this new version, IREX hopes media outlets will be able to adapt the guide to their needs. The bilingual guide is written in Arabic and English. Topics include newswriting, newspaper design, writing for radio and television, and conducting Web research. The stylebook is available for download here [6].
