The “Digitiamo” column goes digital: the WhatsApp community is born

Dear readers of digiTIamo, it is with great pleasure that I announce an important update: our column is going digital!

Following requests from many of you, two weeks ago we launched the DIGITIAMO community on WhatsApp, a simple and convenient platform that will allow you to stay up to date with our content, directly on your smartphone.

But what is this WhatsApp community and why was it created? How exactly does it work? I will explain everything in this article!

The DIGITIAMO community on WhatsApp: what is it?

More and more readers have asked us for a more practical way to read the articles of the digiTIamo column—for a digital column, this is its natural evolution. I have listened to your needs and am excited to present the DIGITIAMO community on WhatsApp.

Thanks to this initiative, every Sunday you will receive the article of the day directly on your smartphone. You will no longer have to worry about missing a new issue or searching for past articles: just join the community and everything will be at your fingertips.

How does it work?

Joining the DIGITIAMO community is truly simple. You have two options:

Access link: by clicking on the link below, you can directly access our WhatsApp community.

QR code: if you prefer, you can scan the QR code found at the top. Simply open your smartphone's camera app, point it at the code, and follow the instructions to join the community.

Once subscribed, every Sunday you will receive the weekly article from the Digitiamo column directly on your smartphone. Not only that: you will also be able to browse articles published from the day you joined onwards. This means that even if you join today, you will have the chance to re-read previous issues already shared with the community.

Why WhatsApp? 

We asked ourselves what the best channel would be to create a direct and immediate connection with you, the readers, and the answer came naturally: WhatsApp. This application is used daily by most people, even here in Ticino, and allows for fast and accessible communication.

WhatsApp is easy to use, free, and offers the possibility to create groups and communities so that people can receive information without having to constantly check email or websites. We wanted to offer you a practical way to read our column's articles, directly in the place where you already communicate with friends and family.

The benefits of being part of the community

Being part of the DIGITIAMO community on WhatsApp brings a series of advantages. Here is what you can get by joining the group:

Real-time notifications: every Sunday you will receive the new article as soon as it is published, without having to search for anything.

Access to past articles: once subscribed, you can consult all articles published from the moment you joined.

Convenience and practicality: you no longer have to worry about forgetting the release of a new issue or looking for the newspaper, because everything will be available on your smartphone.

Dialogue and feedback: in the future, we are considering creating a space to interact with you, answer questions, and gather suggestions to improve the column.

The digitalization of Digitiamo

With the birth of the WhatsApp community, Digitiamo takes a step toward the future, embracing new technologies without forgetting its bond with print media. Our column will continue to be published as usual, but thanks to this new digital initiative, we want to offer all readers, especially those who are more connected, an alternative way to enjoy our content.

For anyone worried about not being “tech-savvy” enough, I want to reassure you: signing up is truly simple, and in a few minutes you can start receiving weekly articles. WhatsApp is a tool that many of us already use daily, so there is nothing complicated about it. If you need assistance, you can also ask a family member or friend for help: I assure you it will be a quick and painless experience!

Conclusion

I am excited about this step toward the digitalization of our Digitiamo column and I look forward to welcoming you all to the WhatsApp community.
