App developer Mobiles Republic has struck a content partnership deal with global news network, Al Jazeera English that will see Al Jazeera English news articles and video content featured on Mobiles Republic’s free news app, News Republic.

Al Jazeera English broadcasts to over 260m households in more than 130 countries, and has more than 70 bureaux across the world. News Republic delivers thousands of full articles each day from leading news sources, and allows users to create customized myNews channels that filter this mass of information down to their topics of interest. They can then click on headlines to view complete articles within the same window, without having to surf outside the app.

Users can further research the stories that are most important to them by using the Word Cloud feature to bring up related articles, YouTube links and Wikipedia entries. The app also offers real-time alerts, and is available for iPad, Android Tablet, Blackberry, iPhone, Android phone, Nokia, Samsung and Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Google TV. 
“Al Jazeera English presents a unique international perspective that we are pleased to welcome to News Republic, reinforcing and illustrating the quality of our partnership with more than 300 publishers worldwide,” says Mobiles Republic CEO, Gilles Raymond, CEO. “This partnership illustrates our commitment to offer our users the richest and most dynamic coverage of both local and global current events.”
