UK: Guardian to offer printable news updates

Posted by Maddie Hanna on June 20, 2006 at 4:24 PM

British commuters wanting afternoon news updates in print to read on their way home from work will soon be able to take advantage of a free service offered by the Guardian.

The service, G24, will allow Guardian Unlimited Web site users to download and print an eight to 12-page PDF document. Users will have the choice of five news contentcategories, each updated every 15 minutes: general news, international, economics, sport and media.

The idea of mobile Internet news and e-paper is spreading. Two months ago, Spain’s El Pais launched a similar initiative, with a continuously updated Internet supplement available for downloading and printing. And Microsoft recently developed the Times Reader, a product that lets readers view the New York Times offline.
