Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism, 2021, vol. 10, no. 1, pp. 39–50 обнаружили, что этот потенциал не использован: медиаобраз Иорданского
Хашимитского Королевства в Рунете формируется в интересах России по
пропагандистскому сценарию, в институциональной проекции, при этом со-
храняется связь с некоторыми стереотипами в отношении арабов; медиа-
образ государственной власти Иордании в изученных средствах массовой
информации можно охарактеризовать как не персонифицированный.

Media Image of Jordan in Runet Media: Specifics of Non Personification Abstract. The article is a response to the discussion between Russian me-
dia researchers concerning the notion and meaning of media image. It outlines
the key directions in the studies of the image of a state as media product, which
influences the public opinion, social values and assumptions about the politics,
economy and culture. Acknowledging the interdependence of a media image
on stereotypes and archetypes, the authors put forward and test a hypothesis
of effectiveness of forming a media image in the context of weakening this in-
terdependence. They study the possibilities of forming a media image («by the
media — for the society») in a reverse way, when the binary opposition of ste-
reotyping could be destroyed via personification, and a socio-image («by the
society — for the media») could be formed. In respect of a particular country,
this procedure helps to realize and estimate the opportunities and contradic-
tions of the digital media environment which is formed individually («journalist
as subject») and institutionally («journalist as agent»). The research involved
studying the media image of Jordan in web-based media publications in The
Kommersant, The RBK, and The Rossiiskaya Gazeta in 2019. The choice of
the country is explained by the fact that the King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein, by
his actions on the world stage and life style, weakens the archetypal inertia in
the perception of the Arab state, which is a potential for forming a socio-image.
The results of the study show that this potential is not utilized. The media im-
age of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Ru-Net is formed institutionally
to the benefit of Russia and is related to some stereotypes of the Arabs, and
therefore, may be characterized as non personification.
