WATCH out on Wednesday for a new website to complement our new-look newspaper.

The new site, www.yorkpress.co.uk, will be jam-packed with news, sport, pictures, features and information, everything you will find in a good, local newspaper.

That includes our interactive advertising service for jobs, homes and cars, along with other local and national advertising.

As well as lots of local stories and pictures, you will find what's on and leisure information, weather, and business and education news and features.

Our ever-popular feature, Your Pictures, will also be there, for your images to be displayed online; and, of course, news and sport photographs taken by The Press's award-winning team of photographers will be displayed for you to enjoy or order your own copies.

The site will alert you to what's coming up in The Press, including major, breaking news stories and lots of reader offers and competitions.

We are also incorporating our citizen journalist website, My York News, into www.yorkpress.co.uk for you to submit your stories, pictures and information.

But we are not abandoning our award-winning website, www.thisisyork.co.uk

This Is York, current Yorkshire Press Awards Website of the Year, will work alongside our new site but will focus more on national and international surfers interested in York as a world-renowned tourist destination; or for expats homesick for information on their home city and region.

CommuniGate, our free service for non-profit making groups and individuals who wish to create their own website, will be retained on www.thisisyork.co.uk

The site will continue to offer a comprehensive package of information on how to reach the city, how to get around, where to stay and what to do while they are here.
