In a digitised world such as ours, many print publications now have complementary websites. This is particularly true in Zimbabwe, where newspapers can also be found online. These sites include breaking news, feature content that matches the newspaper, as well as additional articles covering a variety of topics.
Newsclip Media Monitoring currently monitors 14 publications and 22 websites (half of which are newspaper complements) from Zimbabwe. By having a website, newspapers can offer readers the benefit of accessing information online from the comfort of their own home, while simultaneously giving newspapers the opportunity to broaden their reach.
Below is an overview of some of the Zimbabwean newspapers that have complementary websites, both of which are monitored by Newsclip:
The Chronicle: This daily newspaper is distributed in Bulawayo and covers local and international news, with additional sections for business, entertainment and sport.
