Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

We are moving from ara.cat to Diari Ara. In the new app we highlight our own content, the main topics, the extensive interviews and all those proposals that want to accompany readers and go beyond the noise of daily information. We know that news is synonymous with immediacy and we believe that this goal has to coexist with journalistic rigour. The app is structured in five sections: - Cover: daily news grouped into topics, edited in an updated way by the newspaper. - Right Now: brief information on current events in real time. The contents are open and free for all readers. - Discover: a space to explore reflective and timeless content, which is selected daily by the editorial staff. - Search engine: to search for articles by keywords or sections. - Profile: the subscriber and registered reader’s own section, with all their informative activity. The reader can enjoy ten monthly contents via a free registration or have unlimited access to all the contents and advantages of the ARA through a subscription. Subscriber engagement is now more important than ever. As subscribers, you can follow each other, mention each other, react to other comments, and answer from your own point of view. All this is essential to enrich the newspaper through debate. The comments’ quality and demands are one of our assets and we greatly value your collaboration.
