Now you can get news updates on WhatsApp

We are launching a WhatsApp news update service similar to our BBM service. Basically, at the same time as our BBMs go out, we will be sending WhatsApp updates. This is aimed at helping you, our reader, choose the social media platform that suits your needs best.

WhatsApp will be just another way of us getting the latest local news to you as fast as possible.

We already use Twitter, Facebook and BBM
