German tabloid Bild is experimenting with delivering news to its readers via Facebook Messenger. The first experiment is limited to “news, background information, and rumors regarding the transfer window of the German soccer league.” (Soccer teams are only allowed to add players twice a year; January is one of those transfer periods.)
Users can subscribe to the service here or by sending Bild Ticker a message.
Starting Friday, Bild will launch a second news ticker via Messenger, providing news about the German version of the reality TV show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
For now, the content delivered via Facebook Messenger is also posted on Bild’s various other platforms and isn’t exclusive to Messenger. Bild wouldn’t disclose how many users have signed up, and it’s experimenting with the frequency of updates.
“Bild has to be where its readers are,” Julian Reichelt, editor-in-chief of Bild.de, said in a statement. “About 30 million people in Germany experience their daily digital routine on Facebook. That’s why we engage in Instant Articles and that’s why we, together with Facebook, look for solutions to deliver our peerless content faster and smarter to our readers.”
A Bild spokesman told me he believes Bild is the first publisher to send Facebook Messenger updates with Facebook’s blessing, as evidenced by the fact that Facebook verified Bild’s ticker page.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything. But think of if you
added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could
certainly be one of the very best in its field.
Terrific blog!
I for all time emailed this weblog post page to all my contacts, since
if like to read it after that my friends will too.
Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a
captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog
platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one?
Thanks a lot!
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email.
I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing
