Groundbreaking political news service in Jordan acts as an alternative news outlet for journalists and others working under the country’s extreme censorship of coverage of the monarchy. Dababees (“needles” in English) disseminates news from credible sources, including professional journalists, via 9 to 10 word SMS text messages that can be forwarded by the recipient. The service also acts to combat unreliable “word of mouth” news.
