Toronto Star website (thestar.com):

Can we help you with stories and photos online?

The Toronto Star uses a portion of its daily editorial content for online purposes. We publish most stories that appear on the front page of the paper, plus many of our main stories and pictures but we do not publish every article from the Star online. For example, we do not have online rights for stories, photos and cartoons from various news services, agencies and freelancers such as Agence France Press, Bloomberg, Cox news services, Getty Images, some LDPImages, Dusan and most printed crosswords and comics. Classified ads in the newspaper appear on thestar.com/classifieds. Meanwhile, thestar.com website has video from staff, The Canadian Press and The Associated Press, podcasts and blogs, different comics and puzzles and other material that does not appear in the newspaper. The web and print are complementary, but different, media.

Thestar.com is committed to providing up-to-the-minute news and information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Every time an article is added to thestar.com, the posting time is recorded. News and information is provided by Star journalists, thestar.com editors, newswires and a variety of other sources.

Can we help you with paid digital subscriptions?

Producing high-quality journalism comes at a cost and most news publishers now charge for online content. The unique content we produce has tremendous value to our readers and the community. If you are already print subscriber, The Star Digital Access is included in the price of your subscription.

There is no charge to register for a Torstar. However, if you want to read additional articles, you will require a paid subscription. Our subscription packages can be seen here www.thestar.com/subscribe The Star Digital Access is included in the price of print and ePaper subscriptions.

As a thank you for your commitment, you received a lower rate with the term subscription.

Help with online advertising

Star classified ads are located at starclassifieds.com, where you can place your ad both in the classified section of the newspaper and online. Also check the helpful frequently-asked questions pages.

For full details on placing online advertising, scroll to the grey box at the bottom of most web pages on this site, and beside "Advertise With Us" click Online Advertising.

Help with email newsletters

We have several email newsletters to choose from, including Headlines, Sports Headlines and Breaking News.

You can subscribe to new newsletters here: thestar.com/newsletters

You may unsubscribe from an existing newsletter subscription at any time by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the newsletter or by contacting us with your request.

When this happens, the usual cause is an over-eager spam filter, either on your email inbox or at your Internet service provider's (ISP) server. Make sure you allow incoming email from online_editor@emarketing.thestar.ca by adding that address to your email address book. It may help bypass any spam filter. Also check that you don't have any spam filter rules that may be flagging the newsletter as spam. Also check with your ISP or, if you are using an email address at your workplace, check with your technical department and see if they are blocking the email from coming through.

From time to time we have had problems with Yahoo! and Rogers Yahoo! email customers not receiving the newsletter. This turns out to be a known problem with the Yahoo! email service, which Rogers packages as part of their service. You can find details here.

Can we help you with our RSS feed?

Our RSS feeds are XML code written to provide content summaries of thestar.com news.

A list of RSS feeds on thestar.com, as well as a list of popular RSS readers, can be found on our RSS Feeds page.
