The flow of news has intensified. Readers can now get breaking stories through a range of media, anytime and anywhere. But, as The Herald approaches a landmark birthday, its guiding principles remain unchanged.
Whether they are reading in print, on mobile, on laptops, tablets or on the Herald app, our readers expect quality journalism they can trust.
Editor Catherine Salmond, who took charge at The Herald in August, says: “Next year, The Herald will mark its 240th anniversary. A lot has changed since our newspaper – the longest-running national in the world – first headed to the printers.
“How our readers want to read the news has also changed dramatically as we have transitioned to the digital world.
“That is why we are competitive with our online offering, recognising readers want to access our content in a range of formats and at times to suit their lifestyle. Most importantly, now more than ever, they need to know they are reading journalism they can trust.”
Today is the last chance to take up the Herald’s best ever Black Friday deal, providing four months’ access to all of our platforms for just £1. The deal ends at 23:59 tonight.
“We offer a range of subscription packages, allowing readers access to extras, including our reader rewards, puzzles and an online e-edition of our printed product,” says Catherine.
“We are offering all this for just £1, for four months, as we run our best Black Friday deal to date. This is a fantastic chance to gain complete access to our content, but time is running out and the offer ends at 23:59 on Wednesday, November 30.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
