Abstract

The study aims at identifying the role of the Arab media as educational institutions in showing the mental image of Islam among young people in Jordan. The descriptive approach was used for its relevance to the purposes of the study. The study sample was chosen by a simple random method, which numbered (304) individuals from the Jordanian youth category. The results of the study showed that the Arab media, as educational institutions, played a medium-level role in showing the mental image of Islam among young people in Jordan. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05) in the role of Arab media as educational institutions in showing the mental image of Islam among young people in Jordan due to the age variable. The study highlights the necessity of activating the role of both local and Arab media to show the mental image of Islam higher and better than it is.
