Good afternoon, 

The large-scale outage for Facebook got us thinking about all the different ways you can get your news from the Lancashire Post.

Yes, we’re aware a lot of you are directed to our website via our Facebook page, and also follow us on Instagram, another of the big-hitters that was forced offline. 

But now seems like as good a time as any to rundown all the other platforms where you can get your news for Preston and the Red Rose county. 

If you’re not already one of our more than 71,000 followers then join us on Twitter, which stood tall amid the social media mayhem. 

And Facebook or no Facebook, you have already been smart enough to get the main headlines directly to your inbox with our newsletters covering the best in news, sport, what’s on and opinion twice daily. 

To get the very best offering from us, online and in print, why not become a subscriber? 

Right now, we are giving you the chance to get the very best of local news, sport and opinion for less with our autumn half price sale.

With the leaves soon starting to change, autumn is certainly on its way, but before you start to look beyond the wintery weather and shorter days, we want to celebrate autumn in all its colour and spectacle with a spectacular sale. 

Until the end of October 17 we're cutting our prices IN HALF for the first six months of any new monthly digital subscription, or for the first three months of print subscriptions. 

Simply checkout HERE using the promo code ATMN50 for 50% off.

Thanks, 

Adam
