Went on this for the first time in months after my last experience. God it's got even worse. Who does their web design!
It's like the scene in the IT Crowd where Jen has about a million things on her desktop.

I think a lot of these local news sites are the same. The Wales online site which is the home of the South Wales Echo (Cardiff local paper) is equally horrendous.

If you have an Edinburgh library card, you can access the vast majority of printed media, uncluttered, with the Pressreader app.

The news is dying a slow death. Unreadable website, constantly trying to get you to subscribe and poor sports coverage. Think it’s about 85p to buy in shops..

The paper is a vital link for a lot of folk who don't get local news from any other source.

Got a Black Friday news subscription for £62 for the year back in November. For that I can bypass the website and access effectively an online PDF of the printed paper on my iPad.
It was the first time I’d touched the EEN for about a year or so and was a bit shocked at the lack of content and the lack of sub editing - seeing reference to a baby swan as a “signet” was a particular low - but I think that’s probably the way local papers are now going across the board, sadly.

The print version is littered with spelling/typing mistakes, grammatical errors, articles which are cut off before they end, articles appearing twice in the same edition and to cap it all there’s a Viz style internet comments page with comments about articles which are in the edition they appear in.
It’s a shame that it’s as bad as it is; there’s a ‘this will do’ attitude to it and for all the pleas they make to get people to subscribe it has the feel that it won’t be around much longer.

I’ve had it for years and there’s loads of other publications available for FREE other than the EEN.
Make it your New Year resolution. You won’t regret it.

Local newspapers aren't meant to be platforms for exciting and innovative input. Have a look at papers in local areas all over the country. They're full of pictures of local gala days, lists of prize winners, reports of junior and schools football and other sports. There is info about planning matters, transport and even bin collections.
The fault with the Evening News if I think about it is that it tries to compete with national tabloids instead of concentrating on the neighbourhood stuff. I suppose it stems from having to operate in a big city.

Problem with the News is the website is unreadable with pop ups and clickbait stories everywhere. Just last week it carried a link to a historic story in Jedburgh!
Can’t see it lasting much longer.

The Evening News was once a great wee paper, with a real flavour of Edinburgh and, as has been pointed out, a key source of info for many. It used to be the go-to source for breaking Hibs and Hearts stories. The last time I saw an actual copy you couldn't even call it a pale shadow of its former self. Thin on pages and content (much of which is shared with the Scotsman) it serves next to no purpose these days. Sad but true.
