There was a bi-weekly newspaper in Roman characters. The Hebrew alphabet does not work well because of the need to differentiate vowels, yet there are texts in Hebrew script. There were 2 daily radio programs on a national radio station; news with some cultural notes. There are no monolinguals. It is not the dominant language for most speakers. The name 'Dzhudezmo' is used by Jewish linguists and Turkish Jews; 'Judeo-Spanish' by Romance philologists; 'Ladino' by laymen, especially in Israel; 'Hakitia' by Moroccan Jews; 'Spanyol' by some others.
