City-wide news sites launched in Glasgow and Edinburgh

Scottish broadcaster STV has announced the launch of new city sites for Edinburgh and Glasgow, with the Edinburgh site bringing together its previous platforms for the North, West and South East.

In a release STV said the new city sites will bring together content across news, 'going out', 'magazine' and 'Find It'.

Just over a year ago, in February 2011, STV announced the launch of three new local websites for Edinburgh covering the North, West and South East.

Today the broadcaster confirmed that audiences are keen to gain a city-wide perspective and so it had launched a city site for Edinburgh, as well as one for Glasgow.

"As part of the STV Local platform, these sites will offer the opportunity to engage with content on a city-wide level but also for communities within the cities to connect on a more local level."

Looking ahead STV plans to introduce more city-wide sites, including one for Aberdeen.

Executive editor of STV Local David Milne said in a release: "The evolution of STV Local has led us to the creation of two city sites for Edinburgh and Glasgow, each aspiring to be 'the voice of the city'

"The sites are a natural extension of the Local network and are built around core values, including our passionate belief in community.

"Our hope is that our Edinburgh and Glasgow sites, with their compelling editorial and video content, will prove essential to those who live and work in these great cities."
