The Daily Mirror is joining forces with other leading daily newspapers in Northern Ireland to offer a home delivery service to ensure readers can still get their vital source of trusted news during the coronavirus pandemic.
As the coronavirus crisis unfolds, massively impacting on people's daily lives, the Daily Mirror, News Letter and The Irish News are uniting to make sure their readers continue to receive their daily news at a time when they need it most.
The home delivery service has been launched following an inundation of requests from readers of the three newspapers looking for their paper to be delivered either for themselves or for elderly parents.
As people - particularly the elderly and vulnerable - isolate themselves and embrace social distancing, getting to the shops for your daily newspaper has proved a difficult task, and for a lot of people, newspapers are an important part of their day.
The service, which is being launched today covering the Belfast area, will see the first newspapers dispatched on Monday morning.
It is hoped that more delivery options will become available in other parts of the country to add to the Belfast delivery service.
Editor in Chief of the NI edition of the Daily Mirror John Kierans said: “Readers are relying on news outlets right now more than ever to get the latest news and information from the very best sources.
“The critical role played by news media in getting trusted and accurate information out to the public has been widely acknowledged during the coronavirus outbreak.
"Newspapers provide a vital public service and the Daily Mirror, News Letter and The Irish News coming together to make sure that our readers still get their familiar, trusted daily news is absolutely the right thing to do.”
