MVI to launch new e-edition
By the MVI
The Mon Valley Independent is entering an exciting new era in digital publishing with the unveiling of a new and improved e-edition, and soon, a mobile app and redesigned website.
The new offerings are being launched with the third-party platform provider Tecnavia, which processes and manages more than 1,700 digital newspaper and magazine products daily.
Readers will begin seeing these upgrades at the monvalleyindependent.com beginning Wednesday, March 13.
The e-edition changes will provide enhancements ranging from improved readability to an improved subscription platform, including: enhanced display, readability and functionality, with multiple views and reading formats, along with an e-edition archive of daily publications and special sections as well as new and improved accessibility features, including larger font sizes.
“We’re thrilled to be able to work with our partners at Tecnavia to bring these improvements and upgrades to readers of the Mon Valley Independent,” said MVI Circulation and Advertising Manager Lori Byron.
MVI Managing Editor Stacy Wolford agreed, saying, “Improved digital offerings like this one will help ensure that newspapers like ours will continue to serve their communities for many decades to come, in print and online.”
In the near future, readers will be able to begin downloading the new Mon Valley Independent 2-in-1 app on the Apple Store and Google Play. While anyone can download and use the app, only subscribers will have full access to all of the premium content and be able to read the e-edition.
Stay tuned for more details as we prepare to launch the apps.
One thing that won’t change is that subscribers will still get their print edition delivered to them Tuesdays through Saturdays, and of course, our full Monday electronic-only edition will still be available.
Those who choose to pick up a copy of the Mon Valley Independent at local stores and businesses will still have that option as well.
While we anticipate a smooth transition for readers of our e-edition, some minor hiccups may occur, but rest assured we will help with any troubleshooting or issues that may arise.
Please call us at 724-314-0030 if you have any questions. We look forward to being your local news source for many years to come!
