Your guide to The Tribune’s new print publication schedule, plus new features
Tribune readers who receive the print edition 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 December. Single copies also will be available at select retail locations.
eEdition schedule: The eEdition will continue to publish seven days a week at sanluisobispo.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 robust Extra Extra package of additional national news, sports, features, puzzles, comics 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. But most stories will appear online — on the website and often in the 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.
Comics: Comics will be published daily in the eEdition. In print, we’ll continue to publish the Sunday comics.
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.
New features
Along with the print change, we’ve got some exciting new features as well.
No. 1 is universal access for Tribune subscribers across all 30 of McClatchy’s news sites.
That means your login will allow you to read the Fresno Bee, Modesto Bee and Sacramento Bee at no extra cost, along with other newspapers across the country, including the Miami Herald, the Kansas City Star, the Tacoma News-Tribune and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
This is a huge value addition to your subscription at no extra cost, especially for people with ties to the San Joaquin Valley and anyone interested in California politics and the state capital.
In the coming months, we’ll also launch a new eEdition portal and reader interface. The new interface will make it easier to select the edition and section you want to read.
As always, The Tribune will continue to provide you with essential daily coverage of our community, including the latest breaking news and important investigative reporting that holds our leaders accountable through features like our Reality Check series.
We have the most experienced newsroom in San Luis Obispo County, with roots that go back decades and a history that dates to 1869.
The California News Publishers Association has named The Tribune best in class three out of the last five years, with first-place awards for general excellence, public service, investigative reporting and more. Our reporters, editors and visual journalists produce groundbreaking work across a wide range of topics and beats.
