How to Get Tenterfield Star News Alerts and Newsletters

Updated

Tenterfield Star offers email newsletters and breaking-news alerts that you can sign up for from its website. The site's Newsletters section describes two options: "Breaking News alerts and Daily Headlines straight to your inbox." You can reach the sign-up through the Newsletters link in the site's navigation or the "Newsletters & Alerts" section of its Quick Links area. Signing up for emails is separate from a digital subscription — the newsletter sign-up is presented as its own feature, while the subscription offer covers unlimited article access and the digital print edition.

What the newsletters and alerts include

The site names two email products:

Email type What it delivers, per the site
Breaking News alerts Time-sensitive news alerts sent by email
Daily Headlines A daily digest of headlines sent to your inbox

The site does not publish a sending schedule beyond "daily" for headlines, so treat the frequency as approximate. Both are described as email products, so you'll need a working email address to receive them.

How to sign up

  1. Open tenterfieldstar.com.au.
  2. Find the Newsletters link — it appears in the main navigation and again in the Quick Links area under "Newsletters & Alerts."
  3. Choose the email you want (Breaking News alerts, Daily Headlines, or both) and submit your email address.
  4. Check your inbox for a confirmation email and complete any confirmation step it asks for.
  5. If nothing arrives, check your spam or promotions folder and re-submit.

The site's public pages don't spell out every field in the sign-up form, so expect a standard email-address form. If the confirmation email doesn't appear within a few minutes, the most common causes are a typo in the address or a spam filter holding the message.

Managing your account and saved stories

Beyond email, the site includes account features that help you follow the news on your own schedule. The account menu lists My saved List alongside account and logout options, so you can save articles to read later while logged in. The site also offers Today's Paper, which lets you "read the latest edition online" — useful if you prefer the full print edition over individual web stories.

Other ways to follow local news

The homepage and section navigation cover News, Sport, Noticeboard, Entertainment, Tributes & Funerals, Classifieds, Lifestyle, Explore and Travel, so you can browse by topic without email. The Noticeboard section is where community notices appear. The site also links to ViewJobs for job listings across Australia and to Interactive Puzzles (Crossword, Sudoku and Ultimate Trivia) if you want more than news. For regional coverage, the Network section lists sister publications including The Northern Daily Leader, Glen Innes Examiner, Moree Champion, Namoi Valley Independent, The Armidale Express and The Inverell Times.

Email alerts vs. a digital subscription

These are different products, and the site presents them separately:

  • Newsletters and alerts are an email sign-up. The site describes them as a way to get breaking news and daily headlines; it does not say they include full article access.
  • A digital subscription is described on the site as including "access to content from all our websites in your region," unlimited content and the digital versions of print editions via Today's Paper. The subscription page is reached through "View Subscription Offers."

If your goal is simply to know when big local stories break, the email alerts are the lighter option. If you want to read every article and the digital paper, the subscription is the relevant product. The site does not publish current subscription prices on the pages reviewed, so check the subscription page for the latest offer before deciding.
