Ad-Dustour (Template:Langx, 'The Constitution') is an Arabic-language daily newspaper published in Jordan.[1] Its headquarters is in Amman, Jordan.

History and profile

The first issue of Ad-Dustour (in Arabic الدستور) was published on 28 March 1967[2][3] as a result of a merger of two publications: Filastin (in Arabic فلسطين) and Al Manar (in Arabic المنار)[4][5] published in the West Bank that had ceased publication in 1967 because of the Six-Day War.

The daily was a private company until 1986 when the Jordanian government bought a share of it.[6] The daily has nearly 600 staff.

From 1991 to 1995 Musa Keilani served as the editor-in-chief of the paper.[7] Its editor was Nabil Sharif until February 2009.[8][9] The current editor-in-chief is Mustafa Riyalat.[10]

In 1998, the daily started its website, the first newspaper in the Arab world to do so.[11]

The estimated circulation of Ad-Dustour was 40,000Script error: No such module "Unsubst". whereas it was 90,000 copies in 2003.[3]
