Welcome to the new-look Gisborne Herald website.
We hope you like the new site and some new features — which include an events calendar where organisers can submit details and an image, and a newsletter service starting from today for those who wish to get regular summaries of the latest news, or what’s happening on the arts and entertainment scene. You can opt to receive one or more of the newsletters via the Menu at top left of the website.
If you are a digital subscriber, or a newspaper subscriber who has registered for digital access, you should have received an email this morning with instructions on how to activate your subscription in the new site. (If you can’t find the email in your inbox, check your junk/spam folder.)
Regular visitors to our website will find that the paywall is more effective than what you have been used to, but that a lot of content is free to access. Our new system is like how the NZ Herald site operates, except we are marking “Free to read” articles rather than the paywalled “Premium” articles.
Our NZ on Air-funded content of course remains free to access, as are contributor letters and columns, family notices, the Property Guide and the events calendar. Some interactions with this content, such as wanting to post a comment or receive newsletters, will require the reader to subscribe — which can be our free “basic member” option.
