Brand new app is here to stay

An exciting new app, bringing you daily news updates from across the region by Lanarkshire’s five top newspapers, has officially launched. Lanarkshire Live is your essential companion to daily life across the county – driven by trusted news brands which between them have kept our communities informed for almost 700 years.

When it comes to what’s happening in Lanarkshire, the output of the Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser, East Kilbride News, Hamilton Advertiser, Rutherglen Reformer and Wishaw Press is unrivalled.

We keep our thousands of readers up to date with all the latest news, sport and features from our towns and villages. Now, in an exciting move, we have joined forces to create Lanarkshire Live, and to provide digital daily updates on all the breaking local stories that matter to you.

Lanarkshire is a vibrant region – as well as the aforementioned towns and surrounding areas our five titles cover, we will also be bringing you the latest from Cumbernauld, Kilsyth, Motherwell, Bellshill, Carluke and Lanark.

Our aim is to reflect daily life no matter where you live. If it happens in Lanarkshire, you’ll hear about it from us.

Our experienced team of dedicated journalists not only work in, but are proud to live in the communities we serve. We understand what matters to you, because it matters to us.

The app includes a number of different sections including a “top stories” feature, which ensures you can keep up to date with the very best content throughout the day.

Meanwhile, our rolling news section will contain everything published by our team day in, day out.

Lanarkshire Live Editor Graham Miller said: “Lanarkshire is local to all of us.

“A good story in Monklands is a good story in Motherwell, Cambuslang, Carluke or Cumbernauld. So, pooling our resources and expertise to form Lanarkshire Live makes perfect sense.

“It represents an exciting step forward for our five newspapers and we are confident our readers and advertisers will love both the new app and the brand.

“It is a privilege to be leading this project and our talented team of reporters, who are dedicated to doing their best for our readers and communities.

“So please, keep up to date with all your local news by downloading our Lanarkshire Live app now for free.”
