    Why can’t they just put the information in the alert directly? That’s what the Koreans did when I was there. Why this extra indirection in the first place?

      Possibly laziness and/or wanting to link to an “official” source.

      Instead of publishing 34 more alerts, a interested person could just follow the account.

      going to assume it’s easier to hire a social media intern then train on a cms to post to a website.

        It’s really not. Even crappy interns can learn quickly to post to a CMS.

        However, that’s not what was being suggested here. Just…include the details in the alert that actually gets sent?

      Do do both. The text of the alert and a link for minor updates that don’t warrant a new alert.
