IT’S an exciting time to be a National reader – and an even more exciting time to be National editor.

Your newspaper is coming of age. Not only are we launching a big new Sunday edition with Richard Walker at the helm, but for the first time since launch we’re also allowing readers who prefer our printed edition to take out a regular subscription.

Richard Walker: Farewell to the Sunday Herald, the newspaper that said Yes

It’s one of the most frequently made points when we’re out on National Roadshows. And the results of our recent reader survey were conclusive. You want to be able to support the paper with a regular payment and help secure its long-term future.

National readers know how vital is it to have a voice on the news stands when indyref2comes to counter the views of Scotland’s Unionist media.

And the best way to make sure that happens is to sign up an army of print subscribers, in it for the long haul.

Yes, we’ve got more than 5000 digital subscribers – and many of you will be reading these words right now on your computer screen or phone or tablet. And those subscribers are an incredibly valuable asset.

Thanks to them, we will always be a digital force to be reckoned with. Our Facebook and Twitter engagement is off the charts, and our website is nearly twice as busy as it was this time last year.

But it’s the printed newspaper which gets you on the paper reviews; it’s the printed paper which undecideds glance at every morning in the local shop; it’s the printed paper which sustains everything we’re doing online.

Don’t forget: with the closing of the Sunday Herald, we’re the only title left backing independence. Your support is more important than ever. Sign up today.
