When we refreshed our look earlier this year, those are the two words we settled on to sum up what the Guernsey Press is and why it is.
A fresh way of expressing what we have always known, what the Press has been delivering to Guernsey for more than 128 years, and what our dedicated local team are all about today.
Part of that refresh involved improving the layout and feel of the newspaper, which we still proudly print at Braye Road six times a week. The other major step was transforming our website, guernseypress.com.
We know that many people head to our website first thing every day to find out what’s going on. More than 30,000 people use our site each week, both on and off the island, but until now it has only carried a small selection of what appears in the paper. That is about to change.
This week we are launching a new digital subscription that gives online readers access to everything we do, in a modern, readable and timely format.
As vibrant, as varied, and as valued as the paper.
From our in-depth States reporting, to our unrivalled support for local sport, to parish affairs, and passion for local arts, it will all be available online, in one place.
Some of our coverage will remain free to read. We know guernseypress.com will continue to be an essential daily visit for anyone who lives in or loves the Bailiwick.
But much of the news we cover and the stories we tell take time, expertise, and legwork to bring together. In a fragmented and often fractured online world, we believe that work has value – and your support will help us continue doing it.
National headlines may fill our feeds, but it is dedicated reporting on the ground in Guernsey that shapes daily life here.
In my time, nearly 40 years here, we’ve always gone out to get those stories, to speak to you and the people who matter. We’re reinforcing that approach. We want to bring you the news you don’t get anywhere else, the interviews with the important and the interesting, the match reports. We don’t sit back and wait for press releases to roll in, or for others to do it for us.
But that work is only possible when our community invests in it. If you’re reading a print newspaper today, no worries – we’ll keep delivering for you.
If you’re online, you can support us by sharing your stories, reading, engaging, and spreading the word. But most importantly, you can support us by subscribing – and you will be able to do that from this week.
