SMS for Events, Journalism Industry

Many people say there are many dangers associated with the availability of so many things all at once. With the 21st century at its peak, smartphones have become the new marketplace for possibly everything that you could possibly want or ask for. From food delivery to communications and even businesses are taking up this opportunity to put themselves out there. You have probably heard everything about different services, schools, industries and companies reaching out to people through SMS/text message.

And the reason for that is simple. Everyone loves the comfort and flexibility of having everything at their disposal. You have most definitely heard of SMS and text-message journalism. Let’s brief you if you haven’t:

Journalism and Mass Communication at SMS

It is quite boring to have to check the news every now and again. Reading headlines and watching TV waiting for the next update. It can get very nerve wracking. That is why the Journalism SMS/Text Message service came into existence. Certain news channel and broadcasts take up this service to simplify the process of staying updated with what is happening around the world.

Through this facility, the interested person must send a certain keyword on an SMS short code (for eg. 856721) and they will get specifically picked out news pieces sent to them. The updates are brief and sent straight to the receiver’s message inbox. Talk about comfort!

Exactly like how you would test samples in a restaurant, these news updates make sure you are just in the loop of what is happening. Now, after that if you wish to take a closer look at that specific topic/headline that has been messaged to you, then that is totally your call. The journalist’s job is merely to send you whatever that is going on. Most of the time this happens during events such as the Olympics or when any famous game match is going on. It is more feasible for people to have constant updates streaming into their phones.
