Read Peninsula News on your mobile phone

People often comment that Peninsula News is so popular it disappears from the news stands within a couple of days of publication.

Unfortunately, the current level of sponsorship does not allow for the print run to be increased. Longer term, we hope with more people sharing the cost of printing, more copies can be printed.

However, in the meantime, we have created a new website so that people can read Peninsula News on their phones.

Written by editor Mr Mark Snell, the website features flyout side-panel menus allowing access to all articles in the current issues as well as access to previous issues.

It includes icons to allow articles to be shared on social media and by email, and has links to enable readers to phone or email their contributions to us.

It also allows the current print edition to be downloaded as a PDF, which readers may print on their own printers.

The mobile website can be found at http://peninsula.news/mobile or scan the QR code here.
