As announced on September 21, the Herald is launching local news subscription packages for unlimited access to its website.
Readers can sign up and pay at theherald.com.au from Tuesday.
Subscribers will get all of the local news, sport and community information from Newcastle and the Hunter produced by the Herald’s journalists, plus the latest in national news, sport and lifestyle advice, for only $3.75 a week.
The first 30 days of website access is free for subscribers, who can choose to pay monthly or take out an annual subscription and receive a 20 per cent discount.
Subscriptions include access to a digital replica of the Herald allowing every page of the newspaper to be read on a tablet or desktop. The Standard Digital Print Edition will be available daily and is accessed via the website homepage for reading while you are online.
For existing e-Edition subscribers accessing the Premium Digital Print Edition, with its app access, download, offline reading and other interactive functions, there is no change to their service or current subscription package.
The printed version of the Herald will continue to be published and distributed Monday to Saturday.
Visitors to theherald.com.au from Tuesday will be able to read five articles a month for free before they are invited to subscribe for unlimited website access.
Some website content will remain open to all visitors, including classified advertisements, such as birth and funeral notices, and recommended articles featuring local businesses and sponsored content.
Website visitors can also sign up to have a free newsletter emailed regularly to their inbox, making it easier to browse the latest headlines and see what’s making news in the Hunter.
“By subscribing to theherald.com.au you will be supporting the Herald to continue its mission to deliver local journalism that connects, informs, entertains and shapes our community," editor Heath Harrison said.
Visit theherald.com.au on Tuesday for more information about how to subscribe.
