What a Digital Subscription to The Canberra Times Includes

Updated

A digital subscription to The Canberra Times gives you unlimited news content and access to The Canberra Times app. It also includes content from the other websites in the same regional network, and premium subscribers get interactive puzzles and the digital version of the print edition, called Today's Paper. The subscription page is the place to confirm current offers and any limits.

What the subscription covers

The site's subscription information lists these benefits:

  • Unlimited news content across the site.
  • The Canberra Times app, so subscribers can read faster news on their phone.
  • Regional network access: the same subscription includes content from all websites in the region. The site names these as the Braidwood Times, Crookwell Gazette, Goulburn Post, The Queanbeyan Age and Yass Tribune.
  • Interactive puzzles for premium subscribers: Crossword, Sudoku and Ultimate Trivia, with Cryptic Crossword, Word Search and Code Cracker also listed in the Puzzles section.
  • Today's Paper, the digital version of the print edition, for premium subscribers.

What you can read without subscribing

The homepage and section pages show headlines, summaries and some articles without a subscription. The site also offers free entry points that don't require a subscription:

  • Newsletters and alerts, which you can sign up for from the Newsletters section.
  • ViewJobs, a jobs board covering opportunities across Australia.
  • Classifieds and notices, including AgTrader, Country Cars, Horse Deals, and Tributes & Funerals.

These are separate from the subscription and don't replace the unlimited news access it provides.

How to subscribe and check what you get

  1. Go to the subscription page at canberratimes.com.au/subscribe/ using the "View Subscription Offers" link on the site.
  2. Compare the offers shown there. The site describes premium perks (puzzles and Today's Paper) as part of the subscription, but the exact plan names, prices and any trial terms appear only on that page.
  3. Create an account or log in. Once subscribed, your account menu shows options such as My saved, Newsletters and My Account.
  4. To check your access, open a subscriber article and confirm it loads in full, then open Today's Paper and the Puzzles section to confirm the premium features work.
