The Honolulu Star-Advertiser announced today that it is one of six newspapers participating in a partnership agreement with the Washington Post that will give its print subscribers full access to the Post’s digital content (“Star-Advertiser subscribers to get access to Washington Post“). The S-A article is unfortunately behind its paywall.

But if you’re a regular reader of iLind.net, you knew about the S-A’s tie-in with the Post two days ago. Here’s what I reported on Tuesday:

But as I was browsing, I also found some other recent news about interesting angles being explored. The Washington Post, for example, is forging partnerships with other newspapers to allow subscribers to those papers to also get full access to the Post. According to Ad Age, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser is one of the first group of newspapers to sign on with the Post (see “Washington Post Lifts Paywall for Other Papers’ Subscribers as Bezos Seeks Readers“).

The S-A said the deal with start on June 1.

It’s not often you get to scoop the newspaper on a story about itself. It just demonstrates the usefulness of online browsing through current online content. You never know what useful tidbits you may find.
