Supported by the Norwegian Institute for Journalism, the two-day conference includes 90 participants who are experts, academics and broadcasters in the field of radio journalism, in addition to representatives of local radio stations, according to a JMI statement.

During several sessions, research papers will be discussed on topics such as the practices and standards of Jordanian radio stations, media freedoms and the role of community radio stations in the detection of violations, and local radio stations as a medium for development and social change, the statement said.
