For instance this news report has an event code 1036923. If you want to add more content or get other people to contribute to this existing news event, use the event code (Event Code: @1036923), as the first word of the SMS or MMS message followed by a space then add your contribution (text, image or video). For example: @abcxyz This is an amazing video of Greg Norman eating a shark in Sydney, Australia. The first word of the message should be @abcxyz (event code), to make sure the system attaches your voice to the right news event.
