SINGAPORE – Over four Fridays starting on Oct 9, The Straits Times is putting out a specially curated weekly publication in support of the national effort to encourage reading.
The compact -sized Straits Times Weekly is a collaboration with the National Library Board (NLB) as part of its recently launched ReadSG movement.
It will be distributed free of charge to some homes, and also made available for pick-up at four MRT stations: Bedok, Boon Lay, Raffles Place and Toa Payoh.
The four-week print project was initiated as SPH Media is an official media partner of NLB’s ReadSG, a five-year national movement to build a nation of readers.
It will feature stories and infographics on local developments that affect Singaporeans, key global and business stories, as well as items of wider interest to readers, such as a crossword puzzle and book reviews and recommendations.
Straits Times editor Jaime Ho said: “While these represent a small fraction of ST’s content, the effort aims to encourage people to pick up the habit of reading and turning to authoritative and credible sources of news.
“We hope those who receive it can also rediscover the joy of reading news highlights in print.”
Those who receive a copy are also encouraged to fill in a survey on their reading habits.
About 20,000 copies of each of the special weekly editions will be distributed, ending on Oct 30.

新加坡——从10月9日开始的四个星期五，《海峡时报》将推出一份特别策划的周刊，以支持全国鼓励阅读的行动。
袖珍版的《海峡时报周刊》是与国家图书馆管理局 (NLB) 合作推出的，也是其近期发起的 ReadSG 运动的一部分。
部分家庭将免费领取，也可在以下四个地铁站领取：勿洛、文礼、莱佛士坊和大巴窑。
这项为期四周的印刷项目是由新加坡报业控股（SPH Media）发起的，SPH Media 是新加坡国家图书馆（NLB）“ReadSG”项目的官方媒体合作伙伴，“ReadSG”是一项为期五年的全国性运动，旨在培养全民阅读者。
它将刊登有关影响新加坡人的本地发展的故事和信息图、重要的全球和商业新闻，以及读者更感兴趣的内容，例如填字游戏、书评和推荐。
《海峡时报》编辑 Jaime Ho 表示：“虽然这些内容只占《海峡时报》内容的一小部分，但此举旨在鼓励人们养成阅读和转向权威可信新闻来源的习惯。”
“我们希望收到这份礼物的人也能重新发现阅读纸质新闻摘要的乐趣。”
收到样书的人还被鼓励填写一份关于他们阅读习惯的调查问卷。
每期特刊发行量约为 2 万份，发行截止日期为 10 月 30 日。
