Owners of anonymous publics – who are they?
Interestingly, it is anonymous pages that are the most popular in Telegram. Political channels such as , have several tens of thousands of subscribers with a steadily growing audience. There are many rumors and speculation about the true creators of these resources. The authorship is attributed either to liberal journalists, or to representatives of the pro-government elite, or to ordinary “schoolchildren”. However, no one can name the real names due to the lack of necessary data that would allow identifying the real owner of the account.
Unknown masked authors run some of the most interesting channels It is important that most of these sources are not closed Telegram channels. They can be accessed by any user who expresses a desire to get acquainted with information alternative to that shown by state media. Today, messengers are perceived by many not only as a multifunctional information tool, but also as one of the last refuges of the free, uncontrolled Internet, which has not yet been reached by supervisory authorities.
Anonymous channels attract subscribers due to their mystery. Internet users think that from such a source they can get unbiased and, most importantly, uncensored information.

Algorithm for creating a Telegram channel
To create your own anonymous public in Telegram, you need to perform a number of simple steps:
- Open the messenger service menu.
- Find the “New channel” item and click on it.
- A window will open in which you need to specify the name of the channel (preferably it should be unique and memorable) and write short description so that new visitors can immediately understand the subject of the content. After filling in the appropriate lines, you must click “Create”.
- In the next window, specify the type of resource to be created: public or private. If you select “Public channel”, then you additionally need to come up with a link in the “Link” line. An individual url is generated for the “Private channel”. Having chosen the option that suits your purposes, you need to click “Save”.
To create a resource that is closed to outsiders, select “Private channel” Using the settings, the page creator can always set/change an avatar, expand the list of subscribers using his contact list, and assign administrator status to selected users so that they can also take part in the creation of content. In addition, if the resource does not live up to expectations, you can close it at any time by clicking “Delete channel”.

As a fast means of communication, instant messengers have become full replacement social networks. In my opinion, this is due to the fact that messengers do not have many distracting factors that are present in the same VK and FB. Therefore, people sometimes do not even consciously choose the messenger as a more effective means of messaging.
But messengers don’t stop there, and Telegram is actively developing the niche of closed and public channels (a replacement for groups and pages on social networks).

Creating an article for a channel
To create articles for this messenger Pavel Durov (Telegram developer) created the Telegraph service.
The service is very simple and has only the most necessary functions for creating and designing your publications.
You need to fill in 3 fields:
Title - the title of your publication;
Your story - the text of the publication itself, which can be formatted.
Design of a publication (article)
You can type an article directly in this telegra.ph editor, or you can copy the finished one and paste it into this editor, and then change something if necessary.
Then you can customize the publication: add images, links, specify desired type font (regular, bold or italic), format headings in the appropriate font, format the necessary paragraphs as footnotes (quotations).
Let's see how this is all done...
Inserting Images
If you copy an article from anywhere to this editor and it already contains images, the editor will automatically insert them.
And if you need to manually add an image somewhere, then when creating a new paragraph (Enter key), a panel will appear on the left where you need to select the button with the camera icon:
You can add a caption to each image if necessary. Just type the text you want under the image in the Caption (Optional) field:
Video insertion
You can embed videos from Youtube, Vimeo and Twitter into your post. To do this, you just need to copy and paste the link to the the video you need from one of the above services and press the Enter key.
Text decoration
To format the desired fragment of text in a specific font or as a footnote (quote), as well as to insert a link, select this fragment and a panel with design options will appear above it. Click on the button with the desired option and the text will be formatted.
B - highlight in bold;
i - highlight in italics;
T - two options for headings: main and subheading;
“ - quotation (highlight the text in a footnote, frame).
Inserting Lists
If you need to make a list in an article, then this is also done very simply. You can insert two types of lists: numbered (with regular numbers) and bulleted (with black circles instead of numbers).
To insert a numbered list, put the number 1 with a dot and a space. Next will be your text related to this list. By pressing Enter, you will automatically go to the 2nd item in the list.
Bulleted list is inserted in the same way, only instead of a number with a dot, an asterisk * and a space are inserted. By placing a space after the *, the bulleted list is automatically activated and the asterisk turns into a circle.
Publishing the article and editing it if necessary
That's it, the article is posted and it will be assigned an address corresponding to the title in the transliteration + month and day of posting. You can now paste this address into a message on your Telegram channel and the link will be designed as an announcement of the article with a “View” button. This will be discussed below.
To edit an article, click the “Edit” button at the top right and you can make any changes.
Sending a link to an article in your Telegram channel
Conclusion
