Subscribers can sign up to pay monthly and get the first 30 days of website access for free. Or they can pay for an annual subscription, receive 20 per cent off and get the first month of access for free.
As announced in May, the new subscription offer includes around-the-clock digital access to all of the local news, sport and opinion published by The Border Mail, as well as community information and the latest national news and sport, plus lifestyle, health and travel advice.
Subscribers will also get access to digital replicas of the Monday to Saturday print editions of the newspaper, so they can read every page on their tablet or desktop. There’s also the option to receive daily newsletters, including breaking-news alerts, by email.
Editor Xavier Mardling said the introduction of a local news subscription at bordermail.com.au allowed audiences to choose the way they wanted to support The Border Mail to keep the Border and North East region informed and connected.
“We’re asking those audiences who access our news coverage online – whether it's on their smartphones or laptop – to show their support by becoming a subscriber,” Mr Mardling said.
“For as long as our loyal print readers have been buying a copy of the newspaper, they have been supporting us to deliver the local news coverage and essential information that our community deserves.
“Now we’re offering online readers a way to support The Border Mail to continue providing the quality local journalism and breaking news coverage they’ve come to expect.”
Mr Mardling said he expected the digital print edition to be a popular feature of the subscription package.
“Every page of The Border Mail’s digital print edition displays like the printed newspaper on your computer or tablet,” he said. “It’s an exact digital reproduction of the newspaper, so you can read it page by page, including every article, photograph and advertisement – even crosswords and puzzles.”
Some content at bordermail.com.au will remain open to all website visitors, including classified advertisements, such as birth and funeral notices, and recommended articles featuring local businesses.
The website changes do not affect the printed version of The Border Mail, which will continue to be published on Monday to Saturday.
