It’s come to my attention some readers aren’t aware we did a complete online overhaul just over a year ago.

We may only hit the streets once a week with our print edition, but Meridian Source staffers have been bringing daily news to the Border City at meridiansource.ca since last July.
With the weekly print edition page count dependent on advertising, there’s only so much room in the paper for stories. However, if you’re looking for more to read or additional in-depth photo galleries, I recommend saving our site to your phone’s web browser!
There’s even a simple way to save the website right to your phone’s home screen. It’s a click away and appears like an app.
For iPhones, get to meridiansource.ca and hit the Share icon (the box with the arrow pointing up), which is centered at the bottom of the web browser. Scroll down a bit and hit Add to Home Screen.
For Android, simply go to the website and tap the three dots (More) and select Add to Home Screen. Easy, right?
We’ve also been getting our feet wet in the world of video, which can be found on the website and our YouTube channel. As of late, our website’s homepage has a video element built into it, and our most recent YouTube videos automatically populate on the page.
There’s also a video tab built into the website, so they’re not hard to find. Whether it’s a quick clip of a cowboy doing rope tricks or a longer interview-style video, we’re doing our best to cover all bases.
Changes at the paper started with the hiring of additional editorial staff to help grow our online presence. Enter Christian Apostolovski and Dan Gray. Since starting with the Meridian Source 13 months ago, the boys have built an impressive catalogue online and in print.
Sports Editor John MacNeil joined the team in April and hit the ground running.
The Meridian Source has been the Border City’s weekly newspaper since July 5, 2018, after the Lloydminster Source and the Meridian Booster amalgamated.
The Source first hit the streets in 2005, and the owners, Reid Keebaugh and Clark Wright, purchased the Booster from Postmedia Network at the end of 2016.
The two publications operated under the same roof for two years before the amalgamation, and the Meridian Source has been running strong ever since.
See you on the interweb!
