How does News414 work? 

We send free, personalized data via SMS texting, standard text messaging, to Milwaukee residents. If you want to try it yourself, text the word MILWAUKEE to 73224. Message and data rates may apply.

After this chatbot-driven interaction, we invite each of our users and news consumers to talk directly with a journalist. For instance, news consumers might ask questions about housing, food or jobs, and we report out the answers for them. These conversations also drive our deeper-dive accountability and investigative work published by NNS, Wisconsin Watch and other news outlets.
