IF you look at our newsletter section online, you will see everything from arts, history and sport to politics, business and media.
These are all free, but we have a few that are kept exclusive for our subscribers.
Behind The Headlines - written by our news team - gives you an exclusive insight behind the reporting curtain and brings you along on our biggest stories of the week.
Previous editions explain our reasoning for the vast and deep coverage we give the events in Gaza and the Middle East when other outlets avoid or misrepresent the subject.
Another week we addressed our circulations problems - while pointing out this is not affecting our bottom line. Our editor even gave the full story behind our viral Michelle Mone Albert Einstein video.
And if you've ever wondered what's the point of a newspaper these days? Well, let our managing editor explain ...
Then, we have our Subscriber Update. As a subscriber, you'll get a round up of our top content that week which you are paying for. It is a show of our best stories that week along with pieces written by contributors.
If you are part of that audience, no matter if you discovered us in the last few days, weeks, months or if you have been a regular reader since day one, all you need to do to support The National, our writers and our campaigning is sign up for a subscription.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
