THE Cornish Times is announcing this week that its presence on the internet is being expanded.

For more than 150 years, the Cornish Times, part of the family-owned Tindle Newspapers group, has been providing local news in print for South East Cornwall.

In recent times, the Cornish Times has also provided news on its website at www.cornish-times.co.uk and from this week that service is being upgraded.

Stories and information will be posted on the website throughout each day.

Readers will be able to visit the website using their computer, tablet or smartphone.

Travel information and breaking news from the emergency services will be two key strands of the service provided by the website.

The Cornish Times will also be focusing on its social media accounts to help keep readers up to date with what is happening in the area. Search for the Cornish Times on Facebook and follow the Cornish Times on Twitter @cornishtimes

The Cornish Times sees these digital services as complementing the newspaper’s role.

The website and social media accounts will offer readers an additional way to publicise news and events.

Readers can be assured that the Cornish Times will continue to provide a professional news service in print every Friday, publishing important stories from South East Cornwall that readers will not have seen anywhere else.

The Cornish Times is the main local newspaper for South East Cornwall and provides an unrivalled mix of: exclusive stories about local people and local places; council news; extensive coverage of village, community and church news; and sports reports and results. Plus it is a great vehicle for local advertisers to use to reach thousands of potential customers in the district.

Don’t miss the Cornish Times online and on a Friday when the paper is published.
