Get Journal business news on your mobile

Jul 22 2009 By Dan Warburton, The Journal

THE Journal is now bringing business news direct to your phone. A feed from www.nebusiness.co.uk  has been added to our mobile site featuring the latest business news.

So now you can get updates from our award-winning site direct to your handset .

Also on our m-site is a regional news feed, the latest from Newcastle United and Sunderland football clubs, and more general sport stories.

During the football season, there are live football updates with goals coming in as they happen football from Premier League fixtures, FA Cup games, the SPL and lower league fixtures.

There are also feeds from our Culture, Taste and lifestyle sections. The latest weather forecasts are also available.

All of our m-site’s content is based on our website’s output – www.journallive.co.uk – repackaged and resized so it’s suitable for the smaller phone screen.

It’s free to use, simply text Journal to 67800 to access the site, costing standard network rates, and you can then save it into your bookmarks.

Or you can go direct through your mobile’s web browser.

To do this, open your phone’s web browser and then choose the option 'go to web address' and enter m.journallive.co.uk, which will take you to the Journal site.

You don't need the usual www. prefix, so if you're having problems and your phone automatically adds this then delete it.

Matt McKenzie, head of multimedia at ncjMedia, said: "This is an exciting opportunity for our readers to access the latest business news from wherever they are.

"We’re proud of our nebusiness website and the addition of a feed to our m-site demonstrates our commitment to the business community online and breaking news across a number of platforms."

The service is designed to work on most internet-enabled mobiles.

Brian Aitken, editor of The Journal, said: "This is an exciting new venture for Journal readers, reflecting our emphasis on digital coverage and our commitment to our business readers."
