In February 2018, we bid farewell to The Times newspaper, but Times Select took its place online: a single, sharply curated daily digital edition of news and opinion to give readers all they need to know about the world at a glance.

Since then, our expert journalists and editors in the Sunday Times newsroom have produced more than 700 editions of Times Select. We have more than 400,000 readers each month and thousands of subscribers, many of whom rely on their 5am e-mail newsletter and our Times Select app for their daily news fix.

From this week, your favourite daily read is appearing under a new name: Sunday Times Daily. This links the website more clearly to its parent newspaper, which remains SA’s bestselling weekend read.

Our regular columnists, including Sue de Groot, Tom Eaton, William Gumede, Jonathan Jansen, Wendy Knowler, Tony Leon and Justice Malala, are staying with us. We also welcome the Sunday Times executive editor for opinion and analysis, Caiphus Kgosana, as a new columnist every Wednesday.

We are debuting a new Africa section, and the Sunday Times Insight team is extending its popular Table Talk feature in print to our premium digital edition at least once a month.

To help you make sense of the world you live in, we also introduce a science section and Tanya Farber’s new science podcast; not to mention Sunday Times sports writers Liam Del Carme, Sazi Hadebe, David Isaacson and Khanyiso Tshwaku, each crafting a column from Tuesday to Friday.

What has changed on Times Select?

  • Not much! A new name but the same quality journalism to enjoy in our stylish layout and easy-to-read format.
  • You’ll find the same news and opinion articles, and your favourite columnists, along with some new writers and features, as explained above.
  • Your full daily edition will be online as usual and on our app (also carrying the new name).
  • You will still receive your daily e-mail newsletter at 5am.
  • As is the case now, most articles will be for subscribers only though some will be free for everyone to read.

What else is new?

  • All Sunday Times Daily articles will now also be available on the main TimesLIVE website alongside every weekend’s Sunday Times content from the newspaper and additional articles published throughout the week.

Does my subscription limit me to either the weekend edition or Sunday Times Daily?

  • Your Sunday Times subscription gives you access to all our digital content, all week long, no matter if you are on the Times Select edition page or on the main TimesLIVE website.
  • Not a subscriber yet? Sign up now.

I have questions …

We’d like to thank you for your support over the past two-and-a-half years, and we look forward to bringing you many more daily editions to inform, educate and entertain you.
