Your guide to the Bellingham Herald’s new publication schedule, plus new features
Bellingham Herald readers will notice several major changes beginning Monday. Here’s what you need to know — and where to find your favorite content.
Print schedule: Starting this week we will publish print newspapers on Wednesdays and Sundays and continue to be delivered alongside your regular mail delivery. The Sunday newspaper will arrive on Saturday as it has since last spring. Single copies also will be available at select retail locations.
eEdition schedule: The eEdition will continue to publish seven days a week at BellinghamHerald.com and in our digital app available on your cellphone and tablets. And we’ll continue to publish news digitally throughout the day, every day, including late-breaking news — things such as election results, council meetings and crime. The eEdition also includes the lengthy Extra Extra package of additional national news, sports, features and opinion content.
Website, apps, social media, newsletters: We update our website, apps, social media accounts and newsletters seven days a week.
Where to find your favorite content
News: The print editions of the paper will have more pages of news content, and we’ll continue to place our top journalism in print. Most stories will appear online — on the website and often in the daily eEdition — before they are featured in the print editions.
Puzzles: Puzzles will be published daily in the eEdition. The print editions will include puzzles from nonprint days — so the Wednesday paper, for example, will have the Monday and Tuesday puzzles, too. The Sunday paper will include puzzles for Thursday through Sunday.
Comics: Comics will be published daily in the Xtra Fun section in the eEdition and in the Sunday paper.
TV listings: TV listings, including the sports-specific listings, will be published daily in the eEdition. In print, you’ll see the listings for that specific day.
Weather: Weather will run daily in the eEdition and in each print edition. We are expanding our weather graphic to a larger, half-page version.
Obituaries and death notices: Obits and death notices will run daily in the eEdition and in each print edition.
New features
Homepage upgrades: We’ll working on a fresh, simplified look for our homepage that will make it quick and easy to find our top stories.
