Economist Offers Free Text Alerts

The Economist magazine is set to launch a free text alert service outlining each week’s cover story content.

According to Press Gazette, the complimentary offering will start on Friday and send out the first message to users who request the alert.

“We hope it will inspire those less familiar with our magazine to take a second look, so they don’t miss out on the stories that matter to them,” said spokesperson Yvonne Ossman.
