Shabab (Youth) News aims to reach the 50 per cent of the regional population that's under age 18.

From the BBC story:

It offers a range of stories from a roundup of world news to stories directly affecting its target audience - young teenagers in the kingdom.

The stories and the way they are told is breaking the mould of many existing domestic news programmes in the region, which tend to feature what government ministers and members of the royal family have been doing.

A dozen journalists were recruited to work on the project in November, and by February the best six had been kept on.

It was thought they were most able to break with established news formats - all were women apart from a male presenter.

The stories range from the legacy of Israeli cluster bombs in south Lebanon to the effect of discarded plastic bags on Jordan's environment.
