ONEm Communications is teaming up with Al Jazeera Media Network to create a new interactive channel for news content over mobile devices. ONEm enables Al Jazeera consumers to access up-to-date news through SMS and audio in both Arabic and English. This is available on both smartphones and basic feature phones.
The user begins by texting “#news or #aljazeera” to the ONEm platform. The platform responds by starting a menu-driven SMS dialogue with the user whereby the user can select an option to read or listen to an article. Users can also search and sort by categories and view the top trending stories using search terms. A unique feature of the ONEm service is the ability to tap into user generated content that will help news organisations such as Al Jazeera to follow up or verify trending stories.
Al Jazeera Media Network already reaches over 305 million households in over 140 countries and will be now be available on the ONEm platform. Al Jazeera Media Network is the first media group from the Middle East to join the ONEm platform.
