The Miami Herald and its Spanish-language sibling El Nuevo Herald have launched subscription digital editions, their parent Miami Herald Media Co. announced Friday.

Users can read the day's paper in standard online text mode or newspaper mode, which is shown exactly as it is laid out in print. Navigational tools organise sections by topic and allow readers to pull out interesting headlines and then jump directly to articles they wish to read.

An archive database enables viewers to access issues within the previous seven days.

Miami Herald Media Co. said the sites of the two papers reach 360,000 local users, with an extra 1 million out-of-market users, Editor & Publisher reported.
