Let readers experience the newspaper as it was designed.

The e-edition preserves the complete visual presentation of the printed issue, including page design, advertisements, photographs, headlines and article placement.

Interactive controls help readers move through the issue, enlarge content and focus on the pages that interest them.

Page-flip navigation

Move naturally through the issue while preserving the feeling of reading a complete newspaper.

Enlarge pages and focus on articles, photographs and advertisements.

Digital controls add convenience while preserving the original newspaper presentation.

Built-In Search

Help readers find names, topics, businesses and other information within an edition.

Automatic Hotlinking

Make detected web addresses and email addresses easier for readers to open from the publication.

Zoom Controls

Allow readers to enlarge articles, photographs and advertisements.

Full-Screen Viewing

Give readers a larger, distraction-reduced view of the publication.

Social Sharing

Reader Analytics

Review useful information about digital-edition access and readership activity.

Make complete editions part of your subscriber offering.

An e-edition can provide meaningful value to print subscribers, digital subscribers and readers who live outside the newspaper’s delivery area.

Access can be connected to subscription or paywall options, allowing publishers to determine who may view current and archived issues.

01

Add value for print subscribers

Give existing subscribers another way to access the complete newspaper.

02

Offer digital-only access

Serve readers who want the full newspaper without physical delivery.

03

Reach readers outside the market

Maintain relationships with former residents, seasonal readers and others connected to the community.

Build a valuable digital record of your community.

Every newspaper issue captures local history: elections, businesses, schools, sports, obituaries, celebrations and community milestones.

A digital-edition archive keeps those complete issues organised and accessible long after their original publication dates.

  • Organize editions by publication date
  • Keep previous issues available online
  • Support long-term archive access
  • Preserve complete page layouts and advertisements
  • Give subscribers more historical value

Your Publication Archive

Every Issue
Current editions Make the latest issue easy to find
Past issues Keep previous editions organized
Community history Preserve a lasting local record

Give print advertisers continued exposure online.

Because the e-edition preserves the complete printed layout, advertisements remain part of the reader experience rather than disappearing when the issue moves online.

Automatic links can also give digital readers a more direct path from the advertisement to the business.

01

Preserve the complete advertisement

Keep the original design, position and surrounding newspaper content.

02

Extend campaign life

Give advertisements additional visibility after the printed issue has been delivered.

03

Add interactive opportunities

Use linked web addresses and contact information to help readers respond.

Bring together reader access, interaction, archives and website integration through one e-edition service.

  • Connect editions with subscriber access
  • Link from the main site navigation
