Abstract: This study aimed to clarify the concept of electronic news websites and Jordanian national identity, and to analyze
the impact of electronic news websites on enhancing Jordanian national identity among students at the Prince Hussein
College for International Studies. The study employed integrated methodologies: descriptive and analytical. The descriptive
approach was used to provide a comprehensive theoretical framework on electronic websites and Jordanian national
identity, while the analytical approach was adopted in the field aspect of the study through a specially designed
questionnaire for data collection and analysis. The study included a random sample of 200 students from the Prince Hussein
College for International Studies, who were distributed questionnaires. The results indicated that Arabic TV series were the
most watched programs at 32.5%, followed by game shows at 27%. Foreign films, Arabic and foreign music programs were
perceived as less important compared to other types of programs. Additionally, the study showed a positive impact of
electronic news websites on Jordanian national identity, with an overall mean of 3.45, exceeding the assumed mean of 3.
Among the items, statement number 15 had the highest positive impact mean at 4.04, whereas statement number 3 had the
lowest impact with an average response of 2.88, below the assumed mean of 3. Based on these results, the study
recommends that the Jordanian media adopts a national strategy that enhances loyalty and belonging among Jordanian
citizens through cultural and political programs aimed at strengthening national identity, focusing on students and youth
who are more exposed to electronic news websites and their impact on their national identity. The study also advises
enhancing cooperation between local media institutions such as Jordanian television, radio, newspapers, educational and
educational institutions, to develop a comprehensive national plan to deal with foreign media and raise awareness among
Jordanian society about the dangers of some programs on these media, especially targeting youth and students.
Keywords: Electronic news websites, Jordanian national identity, University of Jordan students.
