The company behind the digital editions of many regional newspapers has produced what it claims is the world’s first virtual ‘newspaper stand.’

PageSuite Limited produces the page-turning software used by Newsquest, Archant, and Trinity Mirror titles to power their digital editions.

Now it has created a new website called mydigitalnewspaper where users will be able to search for all its 5,000 digital newspaper titles.

The company is billing the site, which goes live today, as “the world’s first interactive newspaper stand and search engine.”

“Mydigitalnewspaper is the world’s first website designed specifically to search, discover and read leading digital newspapers from the UK and North America,” said a spokesman.

“Our search tool will find key terms or phrases in any newspaper, and the search can also be segmented by country, publication, date and even the type of title.”

PageSuite is the UK market leader for digital regional newspapers, securing deals with eight of the top ten UK regional press publishers.

It claims that its interactive page turning publications are currently read by 2m people every week.

It’s not the world’s first. I live in the US and have been using PressDisplay.com to read the Daily Mail and other British and American papers for years.

KM Group has been making its weekly paid-for newspapers available to readers worldwide through the Press Display site since 2007.
