Your guide to the Tri-City Herald’s new publication schedule, plus new features
Tri-City Herald readers will notice several major changes beginning Monday. Here’s what you need to know — and where to find your favorite content.
Print schedule: Starting this week we will publish print newspapers on Wednesdays and Sundays and continue to be delivered alongside your regular mail delivery. The Sunday newspaper will arrive on Saturday as it has since December. Single copies also will be available at select retail locations.
eEdition schedule: The eEdition will continue to publish seven days a week at Tricityherald.com and in our digital app available on your cellphone and tablets. And we’ll continue to publish news digitally throughout the day, every day, including late-breaking news — things such as election results, council meetings and crime. The eEdition also includes the lengthy Extra Extra package of additional national news, sports, features and opinion content.
Website, apps, social media, newsletters: We update our website, apps, social media accounts and newsletters seven days a week.
Where to Find Your Favorite Content
News: The print editions of the paper will have more pages of news content, and we’ll continue to place our top journalism in print. Most stories will appear online — on the website and often in the eEdition — before they are featured in the print editions.
Puzzles: Puzzles will be published daily in the eEdition. The print editions will include puzzles from nonprint days — so the Wednesday paper, for example, will have the Monday and Tuesday puzzles, too.
Comics: Comics will be published daily in the eEdition. In print, you’ll see the comics scheduled for that day.
TV listings: TV listings, including the sports-specific listings, will be published daily in the eEdition. In print, you’ll see the listings for that specific day.
Weather: Weather will run daily in the eEdition and in each print edition.
Obituaries and Death Notices: Obits and death notices will run daily in the eEdition and in each print edition.
New Features
Homepage upgrades: We’ll have a fresh look at the top of the homepage that will make it quick and easy to find six of our top stories. We’ll also add a subscribers-only Editors’ Picks box lower on the page where our best journalism will be displayed for several days at a time so you can catch up on stories you might have missed.
New content: We’ve added two new sections to Extra Extra — Xtra Wheels and Xtra Money for automotive and personal finance coverage.
Coming Soon:
In the coming months, we’ll launch a new eEdition portal and reader interface. The new interface will make it easier to select the edition and section you want to read.
We also plan to add a new spot for event listings on our homepage, where you can search for local events — and add your own.
The Herald will continue to provide you with essential daily coverage of our community and unsparing investigative reporting.
We have, by far, the most experienced reporting team of any news organization in Southeast Washington. Our award-winning journalists’ commitment to the Tri-Cities community isn’t changing. We will continue to deliver in-depth reporting, investigative work and captivating stories about amazing Tri-Citians.
