The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has issued an electronic and printed newspaper named Dabiq in Arabic and English, the London-based Rai al-Youm newspaper reported Tuesday, citing social media accounts close to ISIS.
The printed newspaper was distributed to areas in Syria under ISIS control, and the electronic version was distributed via e-mail, Rai al-Youm reported.
The social media accounts close to ISIS said a newspaper named Caliphate 2 would be published soon.
This is part of ISIS's expanding media and social media presence.
A Twitter application called “Fajr al-Bashaer,” or “Dawn of Good Tidings” (@Fajr991) is used to recruit fighters, spread the organization’s propaganda and garner financial support.
After requesting user data and personal information, the application - flagged by Twitter as “potentially harmful” - sends news and updates on ISIS fighting in Syria and Iraq.
The jihadist group has also launched a 10-page online magazine called “The Islamic State Report,” to explain how life within its state would look like and to recruit more fighters.
ISIS is also relying on advanced media production techniques to promote its propaganda, as shown in some of its high-quality videos.
