After WhatsApp released their new \u201cCommunities\u201d feature, St. Lucia Times decided to launch an experiment with our readers by creating our own WhatsApp Community Announcement Group<\/em><\/strong> to share our news via WhatsApp.<\/p>\n A WhatsApp Community is a place that brings related groups together. For example, you can have a school (example: Clermont Greaves Secondary) which also has many classes (English, Mathematics, Science, etc.).<\/p>\n In our example, the school (Clermont Greaves Secondary) is the community and its classes (English, Mathematics, Science, etc.) are the groups within that community.<\/p>\n Each community has a limit of 5,000 members.<\/p>\n If you join our community, you will be part of our Community<\/strong> Announcement Group <\/strong><\/em>(called St. Lucia Times Updates<\/strong>). Your phone number will always remain private\/hidden in this community since the participants\u2019 list is not available. No one except the Community Administrators can see your information.<\/p>\n Additionally, only the Community Administrators can send messages. Therefore, the only<\/em> messages you will receive will be from St. Lucia Times and we will send a few headline articles per day.<\/p>\n There is only one rule if you join our Community Announcement Group<\/strong><\/em>: Please don\u2019t message the Community Administrator. Why? Because the WhatsApp account being used to send the news updates is not being monitored and notifications are disabled. Therefore, any messages sent to that number will neither be seen nor responded to.<\/p>\nWHAT\u2019S A WHATSAPP COMMUNITY?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
