To our readers: Two changes are coming to The Tribune

Dear Tribune readers,

I want to share with you some changes coming to The Tribune.

First, we’re improving our daily eEdition, the online replica of the printed newspaper, to make it more timely.

Currently, the eEdition is delivered to your email or found on our website at 5 a.m. each day. It consists of that day’s paper, plus dozens of pages of additional content, from politics to food, business to sports.

Because of our print deadline, however, it doesn’t capture all the local news that happens in a given day. In the coming weeks, we will launch a second edition of that feature, which will scoop up the other stories of the day.

What that means is you will soon see an eEdition topped by our latest news, followed by the complete newspaper replica you receive now.

All print subscribers have free access to the eEdition, as well as sanluisobispo.com and The Tribune app. All you have to do is go to sanluisobispo.com/activate.

We also encourage Tribune readers to take advantage of our digital newsletters and alerts. Signing up for these notifications is the very best way to stay informed because they come right to you, wherever you are, as news happens.

We have both morning and afternoon newsletters that are sent seven days a week. And we send news alerts via email, on your smartphone and to your computer desktop.

To sign up, go to our page in the Stay Connected tab at sanluisobispo.com.

If you aren’t yet a subscriber, you can sign up for full digital access for as little as 33 cents a day. Visit subscribe.sanluisobispo.com/beinformed.

A second change is coming to the printed Tribune.

Effective June 5, your daily print edition will arrive via the U.S. Mail instead of delivery by a local carrier, which will allow us to continue to provide dependable service across the wide areas of San Luis Obispo County.

For most of our customers, the weekday papers will continue to arrive on the same day that you receive them now, with your regular mail delivery.

Print readers will get their Sunday edition a day early, with the Saturday mail. And that Sunday edition will be expanded with additional pages of new content, including more features and analysis.

Don’t worry, your comics and puzzles will still be there, too.

With these changes, The Tribune will continue to be the most reliable and comprehensive news source in San Luis Obispo County, with breaking stories delivered fast and deeper enterprise and accountability stories featured in our weekend print edition.

As always, we want to thank you for your continued support of The Tribune and for helping to ensure local journalism thrives in SLO County.

Joe Tarica,

editor
