The thriving business of censored Hasidic newspapers

Did you know that Hasidim have their own Yiddish newspapers? These papers are carefully designed to bring world and local news to the community while censoring many things.

In this video, I review many things that make Hasidic Yiddish news unique. We look at what's in the paper, what's not, and how it's all put together to make for a very unique publication.

-The three newspapers
-Why Hasidic print media is thriving
-The role of pictures in the news
-What's censored from the news
-How local rivalries are expressed in the news
-And much more

I can do many more such videos on Hasidic culture, so please leave a comment if this kind of thing interests you!
