===News hotlines===
{{main|Haredi news hotline}}
News hotlines are an important source of news in the Haredi world. Since many Haredi Jews do not listen to the radio or have access to the internet, even if they read newspapers, they are left with little or no access to breaking news. News hotlines were formed to fill this gap, and many have expanded to additional fields over time.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.haaretz.co.il/magazine/.premium-1.2736261|script-title=he:קווי נייעס ספקי החדשות והרכילות של המגזר החרדי, נלחמים על חייהם|work=Haaretz|language=he|trans-title=Haredi news hotlines fighting to stay alive}}</ref><ref name=":01">{{Cite news|url=http://thevoiceoflakewood.com/3dissue/082312/data/search.xml|title=12,000 Calls a Day, One Number: Behind the Scenes at FNW|last=Blau|first=Shloimy|date=August 23, 2012|work=The Voice of Lakewood|access-date=March 9, 2018|archive-date=March 7, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180307150854/http://thevoiceoflakewood.com/3dissue/082312/data/search.xml}}</ref> Currently, many news lines provide rabbinic lectures, entertainment, business advice, and similar services, in addition to their primary function of reporting the news. Many Hasidic sects maintain their own hotlines, where relevant internal news is reported and the group's perspective can be advocated for. In the Israeli Haredi community, there are dozens of prominent hotlines, in both Yiddish and Hebrew. Some Haredi hotlines have played significant public roles.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Haredi-protestors-shut-down-Jerusalem-roads-for-the-second-week-in-a-row-508213|title=Haredi protestors shut down Jerusalem roads for the second week in a row|work=The Jerusalem Post |access-date=2018-03-07|quote=...Instructions were eventually sent out at 6:30 p.m. over the Jerusalem Faction's telephone hotlines for the protesters to disperse, and only then were the roads and junctions they had blocked open to traffic again.}}</ref>
