Features
Here are some special features to look out for as you use PressReader:
- Automatic translation into other languages
- Audio narration
- Download articles for offline reading via the app
- Back issues. The publications usually have a few back issues listed beneath the current edition, but please note this is a service for current news so the back issues do not stretch back for years (tip: for researching historical news sources see the British Newspaper Archive on our online reference sites)
