WELCOME to your new-look, new feel Evening Times.
It’s packed full of the news, sport and features you know and love – but with a fresh modern design for you to enjoy.
In the coming weeks we’ll reveal an exciting new line up of new content tailored to our readers – the people of Glasgow.
From Yoker to Baillieston, and Springburn to Strathbungo, we’ll bring you exclusives, campaigns, events and analysis focused on what matters to you, along with a host of new features to keep you entertained.
We’ll also bring you a daily memories section, looking back at Glasgow’s rich history and even allowing you to send us your own contributions on the city’s heritage.
The Evening Times will shine a spotlight on issues at Glasgow’s heart, and champion what’s great and good about this city through our longrunning campaigns including Community Champions and Streets Ahead.
On top of that we have an exciting new line up of columnists, including Libby McArthur, who’ll bring her own comic take on the city’s “good news”, and our own Showbiz Lion Bev Lyons, who’ll keep you up to date on what’s hot on the Glasgow scene.
And they can’t wait to get started.
Bev, whose first column can be found in today’s edition, said: “I’m a gal who loves a celebration and I am thrilled to bits to be part of the new-look Evening Times. “It’s great to be back at Glasgow’s beloved paper (where I first began as a cub reporter) and talking about my wild showbiz and lifestyle adventures.” Libby, who’ll entertain every Wednesday, said: “I love the slogan ‘ People Make Glasgow’ because as far as am concerned, there’s nothing more classy than friendliness. So you can imagine how excited I was to be offered the chance to write a column in Glasgow’s own Evening Times.”
We’ll also keep you informed on politics in the city, with regular contributions from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and council leader Susan Aitken.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who writes every second Tuesday, said: “It’s great that a new-look Evening Times will be hitting our shelves. As a Glasgow MSP, I’m well aware
how hard this paper works to keep readers informed – keeping a close eye on national events while never forgetting its Glasgow roots.”
Ms Aitken added: “No-one reflects the challenges, needs and ambitions of Glasgow, its communities and its people better than the Evening Times. Events such as Community Champions and Scotswoman of the Year also celebrate what’s best about this great city.
“As is healthy in any relationship between politicians and the press there are things we will disagree on. But one thing we will always agree on is that we strive for what is best for our city and our people.”
Donald Martin, editor of the Evening Times, said: “I hope you like your new-look Evening Times, with a brighter and better look to match our readers.
“We’re hugely excited by the new-look Evening Times, and hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.”
