Welcome to The Next Generation of The Morning News

Inside: Your step-by-step guide to accessing the future

In print, online, on your smartphone, on your tablet. Get your news and information where, when and how you want it. Dear Subscriber,

As your “window on the world,” The Dallas Morning News takes seriously its mission to provide you not only with practical day-to-day news and analysis to prepare you for the day ahead, but also in-depth coverage of the larger stories that shape your world. We have invested heavily in our newsroom to ensure you get not only the most extensive original coverage of what is happening locally, but also commentary and insight into those regional, state, national and international events that impact your life right here in North .

“Rapid and dramatic change” is the best way to describe the evolution of how you can get news today. Hardly a household we deliver to doesn’t have one or more notebook computers, smartphones or other devices that offer opportunities to learn about events across the world just moments from when they happen. That’s why The Dallas Morning News is pleased to bring several new and exciting digital options to its print subscribers so they can check the news throughout the day, when and where they want to.

The journalism you’ve come to value in your print edition is now available in a new, easier-to-use format at dallasnews.com, as well as through new applications for your tablet and smartphone. While these digital versions will be updated several times a day, we’ll also be bringing you breaking stories — complete with stunning photos, video and our first-rate reporting — as they happen. In the following pages of this User Guide, we’ll show you how to gain access to all of our content on each of these platforms — so you can keep on top of the latest developments in news, weather, traffic, and more while you’re on the go.

Simply visit dallasnews.com and click the “Register” button on the home page to link your digital subscription. If you haven’t registered yet, I encourage you to soon, because only linked subscribers like you (and up to two others in your household) will receive our original Subscriber Content online and on your tablets and smartphones; non-subscribers won’t have full access to these stories.

We thank you for your subscription to The Dallas Morning News and hope our new digital platforms will enhance your reading experience.

Sincerely,

Jim Moroney
