The Mercer Island Reporter is launching an initiative that will enhance our readers’ experience online.

Through the “Green Editions” button on our website, you can now access our community newspaper anytime, anywhere. The full print edition of the Reporter is available on the web as soon as the paper hits the streets every Wednesday. Online readers can now flip through the Reporter pages just like those who enjoy reading the newspaper in a hard-copy format.

The Green Edition includes access to all of our special sections, stories, photos, graphics, ads and classifieds. Pages will automatically link URLs found in the text and advertising. Readers can also find special offers at their local retailers by zooming in on display and classified advertisements.

Archived papers will also soon be available online for that story you forgot to clip out of the print edition. You can print a full page, partial page, or download the entire document. You can also download the paper to a Kindle or other electronic reader.

Our new product is supported by all standard web browsers and can be accessed 24/7, free of charge.

The Reporter continues to evolve. We hope this new product will provide an additional way for our readers to enjoy our content. Let us know what you think at editor@mi-reporter.com or find us on Facebook.
