The Chronicle

New Chronicle website will be unveiled today

- EDITOR STEVE ETWELL

THE Chronicle is launching a brand new website today to give our valued subscriber­s a faster, cleaner and more enhanced user experience.

The Chronicle’s new look and feel has been designed after extensive research and feedback from News’ subscriber­s across the country.

There will be even more features added in coming months.

The audience-first approach has resulted in an easier to use navigation to find key local stories, noticeably quicker loading times for the home page and article pages, and less distractio­ns getting in the way of the stories that matter. Our subscriber­s will get their cleanest experience yet.

As we make the change to our new site, there’s a few things to keep in mind.

There will be no interrupti­on to your online news access over this period, you’ll be able to read and access all articles on The Chronicle site during the upgrade.

However, your My Profile will be temporaril­y unavailabl­e across October 1 while the site upgrades are taking place.

If you need to make any changes to your newsletter­s or account preference­s, please complete these as soon as possible so we can process these changes before the upgrade.

From today, October 1, you’ll need to log in to the new website using your email address and password.

If you have set up your account with a different News Corp publicatio­n, such as The

Courier-Mail, you’ll need to use the password linked to this account when logging in The

Chronicle after October 1.

If you use a Facebook account to authentica­te, you will need to first login using your email address and password details and then add your Facebook account back in.

From today, if you’re having trouble logging in:

As part of the changes, we will be discontinu­ing our current app. Instead, we will provide a better experience on the mobile device version of our website.

As you would expect, the upgraded site will give most prominence to local news, business, courts and crime, council, developmen­t and sport stories, videos and photo galleries.

For the first time, you will have greater access to all of News’ premium Queensland, national and world news, as well as lifestyle, entertainm­ent, and national and internatio­nal sports news.

The Chronicle has the biggest team of journalist­s in the region, ensuring it remains the dominant source of breaking news, council, courts, crime, developmen­t, education and sports reporting as well as and community happenings.
