A digital future for the Taranaki Daily News
Since 1857 the Taranaki Daily News has proudly represented the people and interests of this vibrant region, covering our successes, challenges, victories and tragedies.
And it’s something we’ve been doing for longer than anywhere else. The Taranaki Daily News is New Zealand’s oldest newsroom and whatever form it comes in, it will always be your news about your place.
Our journalists live and work in your community. It’s their community too and they tell the stories that make you laugh, make you cry and sometimes make you stop and think.
Taranaki is a region like no other - sure it’s a tourism tag line, but there’s a truth to it.
It’s out on a limb and goes its own way and the people who live here embrace the lifestyle it offers.
It’s gone through tough times and will go through tough times again.
But, as the boom times of oil and gas slow down, new futures are in the wind that give this region the opportunity to continue to thrive as the country’s energy province.
The future is bright and so I am delighted to confirm the Taranaki Daily News is also looking forward confidently to a strong future with the launch today of a new digital home for our content that is exclusive to our subscribers.
Taranaki Daily News online will allow you, our readers, to keep the news with you wherever you go, to read it on your phone, your laptop, your tablet.
Our daily print subscribers will be given full access to this digital version for free, while digital-only subscribers can sign up and pay for access to independent journalism from the Taranaki Daily News wherever they live. As well as all the news, features and analysis available to our print subscribers, you will have access to three new online-only daily puzzles; a quick crossword, codecracker and Sudoku.
And as a subscriber you will also have full access to all our journalism from print and digital publications around the country published on The Post, The Press and the Waikato Times, so you can keep across developments at the Beehive, or check in on the latest hot spots in the North Island.
Our journalists know their work is both a privilege and a public service. Thank you for being a subscriber and helping keep the Taranaki Daily News a strong independent voice for our region.
