As we roll the presses on the new compact weekday editions of the newspaper, we have also rolled-out a new homepage for the website.

With the help of our readers we’ve created a cleaner look and a sharper way to organise our news coverage. It has now launched and it’s got everything you asked for.

To start with, it's easier to navigate - whether on a desktop, laptop or tablet. You'll find the stories you want to read, or the videos you want to watch, effortlessly.

We’re also providing more of the news you asked for: more world, more politics, more opinion and more commentary. And it’s now easier than ever to get your teeth stuck into business, lifestyle, entertainment and travel amongst our many other great sections. The homepage will respond to the news of the moment with different layouts and more updates as it comes to hand.

You can catch up quickly with what your friends are talking about and see the stories that are capturing the imagination of other readers. And there are new sections to shine the light on more of our original journalism and story-telling.
