As of April 19, all Summerland Review subscribers will enjoy full access to the newspaper's premium online content at no additional cost.
This is an important step as part of a growing industry trend to reward our loyal readers with free unlimited access to all the local coverage you expect from your community newspaper.
That means all website content, including our eEditions, a digital replica of the paper, will be included in the cost of your paid subscription.
On April 19, the first day for subscribers to activate their digital accounts, the Review will publish details about the premium content plan and how it will work. Starting April 19, print subscribers can go to SummerlandReview.com to sign up for digital access.
New clients can subscribe for an all-access package, which includes the print edition and premium online content.
Readers who want to forgo the print edition, or who live outside the Review’s delivery area, will still be able to access digital-only premium content on a monthly or annual basis.
With this step, the Summerland Review joins scores of paid-circulation community newspapers in cities large and small across the country which are recognizing the value of their online content. Subscribers will enjoy privileges that include ability to forward stories via email or social media accounts, participate in online discussions and access all content. Non-subscribers still will have free digital access to limited areas, such as provincial news, our website's front page and section fronts, blogs, classifieds and obituaries.
And when breaking news happens locally, that too will be available to all site visitors at no charge.
