An Irish language newspaper backed by the British and Irish governments was launched today.
Lá Nua will be produced from west Belfast and the Donegal Gaeltacht and will be published five days a week.
It will also offer podcasts, an online version and an entry on YouTube, a website offering home video.
Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltach Affairs Minister Éamon Ó Cuív said he was delighted with the innovative technology on offer.
'This shows the great progress being made by the Irish language media and the understanding that Lá Nua has of the modern society in which Irish speakers live today', he said.
The paper will be stocked in newsagents but copies will also be distributed to Irish-speaking offices across Dublin and to some 300 schools using the language.
A contract worth €400,000 was awarded for two years of printing by language promotion agency Foras na Gaeilge, a cross-border body funded by both governments.
Lá Nua Managing Director Connla Lawlor said there were Irish Government plans for a 20-year development strategy for Irish and an Irish Language Act envisaged in Northern Ireland.
The paper replaces the Andersonstown News Group's daily La.
