Amman, March 16 (Petra) -- The Jordan Times launched its mobile application this week, making it available to readers worldwide. The move comes as part of the English-language newspaper's efforts to quickly and easily connect with its global readership and deliver breaking news alerts.

Editor-in-Chief Raed Al-Omari said the app launch follows updates to the newspaper's website and enhancements to its social media presence, to reach as many Jordanian and international readers as possible who are interested in following news from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan wherever they may be.

He added that the newspaper recently launched a podcast service as part of its drive to engage younger audiences, cover their activities, and amplify their voices worldwide.

The Jordan Times, published by the Jordan Press Foundation-Al-Rai, recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.
