Abstract
This study aimed to explore the extent to which faculty members at University at the Emirates and Jordan rely on digital journalism as a source of information related to educational issues. The study was conducted using a questionnaire methodology distributed to a sample of 100 Academics in the Emirates and Jordan. The results showed that the majority of faculty members included in the study rely heavily on digital journalism as a primary source of information related to educational issues. More than 75% of the participants indicated that they regularly use digital journalism to obtain the latest news and developments in the field of education, whether locally or globally. In addition, the study showed that reliance on digital journalism has a positive impact on the performance of faculty members in both teaching and research. 65% of the respondents indicated that they use information derived from digital journalism to update their lectures and develop curricula. The study also found that there were no statistically significant differences (α=0.05) attributed to the effect of the gender variable in all dimensions (cognitive effects, affective effects, and behavioral effects) and the total score. This study provides a comprehensive examination of the intersection between digital journalism and educational issues in the context of faculty members, which represents a pioneering contribution to the field of media studies in the Middle East and North Africa region.
