Do journos at the Daily Mail read SMS Text News?

Link: Text messaging could soon be the new way to call 999 | the Daily Mail

Here’s an interesting one. About five days ago, I blogged about the UK Government considering an emergency 999 SMS service.

Yesterday afternoon, I found this article on the Daily Mail website. I wasn’t reading the site by chance, honest – nor did I see it in the paper version. However, it’s interesting that we featured it last week, and on a slow news day the Mail pick up on it.

It’s worth reading the article just to see their take on it. Hilarious in parts..

    I don’t see why they need to trial the service once again when it has already been extremely successfull with the Hampshire police’s 80999 service.
