Today the Toronto Star is launching Digital Access, a new paid digital subscription program that will allow readers to receive full access to all of the award-winning content on our website across all devices, including smartphones and tablets.

This marks a major transition for the Star that will help us provide, in print and online, the best and most comprehensive package of news and information in Canada.

Home-delivery subscribers who pay for their print subscription through an automatic monthly payment will be able to add Digital Access for free if they sign up by Dec. 31, 2013.

If you do not pay for your home-delivery subscription through an automatic monthly payment, you will be able to add Digital Access for $4.99 a month, plus tax.

For those who do not subscribe to our print edition, a Digital Access-only subscription will be available for only 99 cents, plus tax, for the first month. Each additional month will be priced at $9.99, plus tax.

Subscribers to Digital Access will receive full access to thestar.com, including all the news articles, columnists, investigative reports, profiles, sports, blogs, multimedia features and much more.

As a bonus, Digital Access subscribers will receive our “Replica Edition” every day of the week — an exact digital copy of the daily printed paper with added interactive features.

Earlier this year, we unveiled a newly designed website and introduced exciting features that enhance the reading experience for our subscribers and address the needs of advertisers. These include more videos, live blogs, chats and breaking news, as well as the in-depth journalism that readers have come to know and trust from the Toronto Star.

Importantly, subscribers to Digital Access will help us to continue to invest in the high-quality reporting, ground-breaking investigations, opinion writing and digital innovation on which our readers have come to depend.

Regardless of whether or not you sign up for Digital Access, we will offer free access to 10 articles every 30 days. As well, we won’t limit your ability to view our homepage and section fronts, watch videos, search classified advertising or read obituaries.
