Online Media
The Shropshire Star publishes a selection of its news and sport content online each day, in addition to regular blogs and unique video content. Its website shropshirestar.com was launched in 1997.
According to the most recent ABCs, the Shropshire Star website had the second highest rise in average monthly unique users across the whole of the regional press - up 41.8 per cent to 469,827.
August 2012 saw the website re-launched in a responsive web design alongside its sister title expressandstar.com – believed to be the first of any other regional newspaper websites in the UK.
A Shropshire Star App for iPad and iPhone was launched in January 2012, using page-turning technology to mimic the look and feel of the actual newspaper. Further apps for Android and Kindle Fire are scheduled for release in January 2013.
The website also offers free access to the weekly Chronicle and Journal series.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
