A new home for your Southland Times online

- Ché Baker Editor

We’ve been here when it counts, covering the successes and the challenges, the triumphs and the shortcomin­gs.

For nearly 160 years, The Southland Times has proudly represente­d the people and interests of Invercargi­ll and Southland.

Our experience­d local journalist­s have a strong history with the area and the newspaper, and they take pride in their work.

They strive to get the stories you need to know about.

The Southland region continues to make waves, be it for our sporting successes or as a backdrop for groundbrea­king technology.

So I am delighted to confirm that

The Southland Times 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 and digital subscriber­s to The Press, The Post and the Waikato Times.

Our daily print subscriber­s will be given full access to this digital version for free, while digital-only subscriber­s can sign up for access to

The Southland Times’ independen­t journalism, wherever they live.

As a subscriber you will also have full access to all our journalism from print and digital publicatio­ns around the country published by The Press, The Post and the Waikato Times – making it easy to keep across developmen­ts at the Beehive or check in on the latest eatery for your next visit to Christchur­ch.

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, the Codecracke­r and Sudoku.

This includes supporting events such at the Surf to City, getting behind the Hawthornda­le Care Village dementia care developmen­t, and sponsoring prizes at the Southland Business Excellence Awards and the Southland Sports Awards.

Our journalist­s know their work is both a privilege and a public service.
