Once this feature is available, reporters should receive an email about it, telling them to log in and go to "My Account" to add their phone numbers and opt in.
Also, this feature should be mentioned in the intro and alert emails, perhaps on the condition that the user has not already opted in to text message alerts.
When newsmedia members are added (by admins or by other newsmedia members), it should be possible to add their phone numbers, which would opt them in to text message alerts.
Scenario: Someone wants to subscribe someone else to ONLY text message alerts and not emails. Could the form be put together in such a way that allows users to opt out of emails ONLY if opting into text messages? Or is it better overall to just force every new member to opt in to emails and require that they opt themselves out after logging in?
