IF you aren’t already a member of The National’s family of subscribers, we’re running two offers that we think would be the perfect point to jump in – but they end TODAY.
The special discounted offer means you can take out a monthly premium digital subscription for £3.49 for your first six months.
You can also save 25% on an annual Premium Plus digital subscription, paying just £86 for one year. You can find out all the details on what each offers by clicking here.
Being a subscriber means you’ll have access to all our premium articles, including our National extra series, offering up-to-date analysis and comment on the issues of the day from top voices.
You'll also be supporting the Yes cause, as we work to fact-check Unionist claims and hold the media to account for bias – and that means the BBC, too.
We don’t talk Scotland down. We highlight good news about this nation, not just the gloom, because the country has so many successes worth celebrating.
Plus, we dig into Scottish history and the history of our arts, including the REAL story of how the Union came to be.
With your support, Scotland’s only pro-independence newspaper, The National, will be at the forefront of helping to win indyref2.
National editor Callum Baird (above) said: “As Scotland’s only pro-independence newspaper, we’re proud to be providing unmatched coverage of this nation.
“It’s through the support of our subscribers that we’re able to continue growing with the movement and making sure we’re conveying your messages on newsstands and online, taking the spin from Unionists to task.
“If you aren’t already a member of The National’s family of subscribers, we’d love to welcome you, and this special offer is a great chance to get a taste of what we offer!”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
