WhatsApp becomes a source of information

A week ago, I was reading an article about the WhatsApp groups subscriptions. Yes, you read right! In Brazil, some "entrepreneurs" thought to monetise their knowledge and resources, distributing them on a focus groups in exchange for a monthly fee of $ 3.

There is a group traffic information, which users say it would be better than Waze. There are groups about music, humor etc. One of the entrepreneurs coult have 500 such groups with up to 100 members each. Calculate how much money you make per month.



Why am I tell you about these groups? A few days ago,some  journalists, consultants and analysts ,started a group on WhatsApp about media outlets & marketing, but mostly local. Those jurnalists combines short messages, images and links. Some pre-news. 

Content is necosmetizat firsthand, and can be a starting point for real news and I am saying real because it is not censored. (read verified and documented). Being disseminated in a relaxed and friendly environment, the information has a particular format does not comply with the rule and can therefore draw attention, whatever the subject. A stream of mini-news Agency as it sounds, but one that does not comply with the rules of classical writing.

This  group now has nearly 250 members and is obviously free. Imagine the possibilities and how handy a big group will be for any entrepreneurial reason and business. What do you think about this??
