Local meets legacy: The Weekly Challenger launches new app

Doorstep, desktop or fingertips – The Weekly Challenger newspaper continues to connect remnants of our rich historical past with our ever-present growing future. Get connected, and stay connected with our new mobile app, now available for download on Google Play and the App Store.

Get our new app one of three ways:

• Download it from Google Play

• Download it from the App Store

• Or download it right here directly from our website

Control your digital news on Android or Apple devices with customized content driven from all of our best features: breaking news in the community and beyond the bay via exclusive videos, our interactive website and social media updates.

The development of the new app is one of the many creative digital marketing initiatives that The Weekly Challenger has implemented, setting it apart from many smaller local newspapers – giving itself a competitive edge in the marketplace and the ability to stand alongside larger local newspapers having similar longevity.

In the last three years, The Weekly Challenger has strategically poised itself by increasing digital awareness and interactive social engagement. The newspaper has also strengthened its branding, readership and digital reach through the development of an updated website, by drawing attention to community news, and by maximizing both traditional and social marketing channels (like Facebook, Twitter & YouTube) to reach many more readers and businesses within and beyond the bay.

Since our origins almost 50 years ago, The Weekly Challenger has been a source that consistently delivers news that affects who we are, where we are. Our new app features a wholesome user experience that appeals to both “old school” and “new school” alike, with push notifications that alert you of the most recent news, local award shows, hometown heroes, politics and of course – where to find good eats.

Connect with The Weekly Challenger team as well as other community members even more – access your favorite articles, news, developments and initiatives and local events with ease!
