The Journal-World is going green by offering a virtual newspaper.

The new Green Edition is an electronic version of the newspaper as it appears in print. It gives readers complete control to zoom in on an article or an advertisement, navigate each section and even turn pages. The Green Edition is available via LJWorld.com.

“As recycling has become a priority for many people in our community, we thought we should provide the newspaper to our customers how, when and where they want it, including in virtual form,” said Chris Bell, Journal-World circulation director. “The Green Edition allows us to provide that resource. I look forward to seeing how the community embraces the Green Edition.”

A Green Edition subscription costs $8.10 per month, which does not include the print edition. It is also available to current Journal-World print subscribers for 50 cents per month.

Single-day access costs 75 cents daily, or $1.25 on Sundays. Single-day passes can be accessed at ljworldstore.com.

To get started, go to the Green Edition section of LJWorld.com. For more information, call the circulation department at 843-1000.
