Starting today, you can get updates from Nieman Lab through our new WhatsApp Channel.

Earlier this month, we talked to 13 news publishers about how they’re using WhatsApp’s latest feature, Channels, to reach and engage news consumers on an app they already use daily.

We think there’s an audience for journalism innovation news on the platform, too.

In the channel, you’ll get our stories and updates about the future of news, along with what else we’re reading from around the internet.
