How GroundSource can help you develop deeper audience engagement w/text messaging, featuring @MSTODAYnews groundsource.co/news-and-blog/…

Woke up this morning to check responses to the latest question on the @abraverway text line (I’m in India!), and was stunned/delighted to see THAT many people actually remember and then actually share all these times they’ve changed their minds on a political issue. I thought we’d get way fewer responses than we did. Amazing. PS - If you want to join the text line (300 people and counting!) text “Brave” to 206-926-9955. It’s become quite the forum. PS - Thank you to our partners at @kuow and of course @groundsource for making it possible!

Off the topic of my head, some folks working to reach the 85% you're unlikely to reach by email. Some tech, some other stuff: @wearehearken @JoinSubtext @groundsource @jny (Pack), @spaceship_media @onesignal @PirateAudio Please add to this list!

All hail the newsletter, savior of news medi- or not. New study: - 52.7% of ppl subscribe to 0 newsletters - 14.7% sub to 1 - 19.4% to 2-3 - 5.7% to 4-5 - 7.5% to 5+ Publishers need to innovate & stop relying on the shiny new 50-yr-old "email" thing. mediapost.com/publications/a…

Woot woot! Great tips here for news orgs interested in texting with their audiences. * a personal touch goes a long way w/texting * texting can reach people you might otherwise not hear from * set goals!

Many of the audience-driven approaches we use at @grahammediagrp tie back to ideas and digital news leaders discovered through the ONA national conference (#ONA20). @wearehearken, @fathmco, @groundsource, @viafoura all connect to ONA. 2/6
