This is good news for the many readers who use our popular electronic edition daily. On Wednesday, watch for a new platform with easier navigation and updated features.
Our electronic edition has been around in one form or another for years, allowing readers to flip through a digital replica of the printed newspaper on a smartphone or tablet. Access is included in your subscription.
The latest updates are the result of research and feedback. Last week I got a preview of the new look, which includes a revamped top menu bar, new options for printing and downloading pages, and quick access to features like games and puzzles, among other necessary improvements.
It’s a great upgrade.
As always, I appreciate your thoughts on our work. Contact me at: (804) 649-6146 or [email protected]
Welcome, interns!
I also welcome our group of new interns to the Times-Dispatch. You will see their work over the next few months.
