  • Navy News, the official newspaper of the Royal Navy, is produced by a small team of editorial and support staff and is published by the Ministry of Defence on a monthly basis. The content of the newspaper is varied, ranging from information for all serving personnel of whatever rank or specialisation to Sea Cadets and former shipmates. Members of the public with an interest in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and the Fleet Air Arm also have access to the newspaper. The newspaper is distributed free to serving personnel, whilst worldwide subscribers (8,000+) continue to grow. Sales of the newspaper (30,000+) through newsagents and supermarkets remain constant. Navy News includes sections on news; special features; sport; book reviews; association news; people; charity work; Fleet Focus (where the ships are deployed); 2-6 (for serving personnel); letters and the very popular noticeboard (on which readers can search for old shipmates, notify deaths and reunions or ask a question). In 1998 it was decided to create a website and it has been running ever since. It always includes a daily (weekdays) news story as well as notifying readers about reunions; people searches and other features. In April 2007, the first free digital edition of Navy News was launched on the website and each edition since then has appeared giving free access to readers worldwide. In recent weeks, new features have been added and further are planned. Another popular innovation is the recording of sections of the Navy News, read by some of the editors, initially recorded on to 90 minute tapes, but now recorded digitally onto memory sticks with no restriction on length of time. This is then distributed by the Portsmouth Area Talking News to visually impaired persons for free, through the ‘Articles for the Blind’ scheme all over the world.
