Bringing you more of the coverage you crave
The Oshawa Express plans a redesign in order to add more space, dedicated content and added features to expand on its award-winning journalism
In the coming weeks, readers of The Oshawa Express will notice a few changes with their weekly newspaper.
In an effort to allow for more space to bring you dedicated coverage on everything Oshawa, The Express will be expanding to a weekly minimum of 24-pages.
Along with that comes a small change in the size of your weekly edition making it slightly smaller, but much easier to handle and read with your Wednesday morning coffee, or when you catch up with your Oshawa news while riding Durham transit.
Also, we recognize that everyone’s tastes in news is different. In order to make your news more accessible and organized, The Express will be divided into dedicated sections sticking to similar pages in each week to make it easier to find the news you need and perhaps move past the news you don’t.
Most exciting is the addition of a new feature section each week. This new section will delve deep into issues effecting our city, tell the stories of Oshawa residents and leaders you can’t read anywhere else, and provide you extras and analysis to better explain our reporting and showcase our journalism, all the while bringing you a product that satisfies readers’ desires for long-form reporting and writing. The editorial board has decided to title this section The Fourth Estate, to highlight the important role of journalists in today’s democracy and let readers know right from the start that this section will deliver the best of the best that The Express has to offer.
With that said, these changes are meant for you, the reader, as The Express continues to adapt to the changing media landscape and desires in our community.
The one thing that will not change is the journalism that is contained in these pages. The Express will continue to follow its mandate of delivering quality, truthful reporting that you can trust, and highlighting the issues you need to know about.
As we go through this change, we encourage readers to write or email letters to the editor to tell us what you think. This will not only allow for a chance to start a dialogue with fellow readers, but assist us in building a better product for you, the readers.
The motto of this award winning newspaper for the last 13 years has been “well written, well read.” We promise to continue to deliver on the first half of that motto, and we hope you continue to take up the second half.
Thank you for all your support.
