Bellingham Herald to change print schedule as digital transition evolves
The Bellingham Herald’s journey toward a more digitally focused, sustainable future takes its biggest step yet next year, when we will transition to a 24/7 digital product with two days of high-quality print editions beginning Jan. 29.
The print editions will publish Wednesdays and Sundays and will continue to be delivered alongside your regular mail delivery. The Sunday newspaper will arrive on Saturday. Single copies also will be available at select retail locations.
The eEdition will continue to publish seven days a week at bellinghamherald.com and is also accessible via our digital app. And we’ll continue to publish news digitally throughout the day, every day.
We’re also improving your digital experience. We’ve recently launched a new community calendar and portal for submissions, better eEdition navigation and a refreshed homepage that provides unique experiences for our readers.
This is another key move for us within the digital transition of the news industry — and a vital step toward the sustainability of The Bellingham Herald.
Increasingly, Whatcom County residents get their news from their phones, tablets and computers.
With that trend in mind, we’ve become much more digitally focused and have intensified that approach to where readers of BellinghamHerald.com or our eEdition will often see our best work before our print readers.
For The Herald to continue to provide you with essential coverage of our community and unsparing investigative reporting, we must transform our business to thrive in 2024 and beyond.
Our journalists’ commitment to Whatcom County isn’t changing. We will continue to deliver in-depth reporting, investigative work and captivating stories about amazing people and events in our communities.
