Back in 1870 the Eastern Daily Press was first published.

And ever since the paper and its journalists have been fighting for Norfolk and Waveney.

The EDP was one of the first newspapers in the UK to print pictures. We had colour pages long before most of the regional press. And, back in the mid-1990s after consulting with our loyal readers, we switched from broadsheet to tabloid. 

Today the EDP is believed to sell more copies than any other regional paper in England. 

But these are changing times. And the EDP must never standstill.

More and more readers want to consume the news on phones and tablets. And for more than two decades our hugely successful website has provided real-time updates on the stories that matter in the East.

But now the next phase of our evolution has arrived - EDP+.

You may have noticed that some stories are now not available for free on our website. The quality journalism, investigations, crime, court and sports coverage we pride ourselves in is expensive to produce. 

But we are determined to continue to speak truth to power and shine a light on issues many would rather you didn't know about. 

The EDP+ app will allow this to continue, alongside our brilliant printed product and website for many decades to come. 

And if you subscribe to the app you get far more than ever before. Downloading EDP+ on your device will give you access to all our news and features, full Pink Un coverage, and breaking news alerts so you are always up to date. Also, the app is ad-free so no more annoying pop-ups. 

As well as all this you can view e-editions of the newspaper on the day they are published - and flick through previous editions. 

And each day our interactive puzzle section offers brain teasers from crosswords to sudoku and codeword.   

Right now you can try it out for a special introductory offer. You won't be disappointed.
