The Star Tribune eEdition

This month I got a flyer along with my weekend Star Tribune about the new Star Tribune eEdition. I was not surprised to see this addition with all of the changes going on in the print news industry, especially since The Wall Street Journal made the same change and added a fee for online readers to view entire articles on their website.

The Star Tribune eEdition is an exact replica of the print edition, conveniently emailed to you every morning. Some of the advantages the Star Tribune sees with their eEdition are:

• Simple action search: Find the current day's edition plus 14 days of back issues
• Easy article previewing: Scan headlines and page thumbnails for quick browsing
• Zoom-in/out capability: Get full and side-by-side page viewing
• More news: Each section offers companion links to current news updates on StarTribune.com
• Language translation: Read articles in English or Spanish

I think it's a great idea that the Star Tribune offers this service. A couple neat things about the eEdition I see are: The Star Tribune's reach expands greatly. Anyone in the world can receive the Star Tribune. The price is affordable, just $2.00 a week. Also, the eEdition is very green. The more subscribers that choose to receive the paper online, the more trees that will be saved.
