The Honolulu Star-Advertiser on Sunday will launch a weekly Maui Edition, which will include the entire Sunday Star-Advertiser newspaper plus an eight-page section filled with Maui-related news, feature stories and photos.

The new edition aims to fill the void for Valley Isle newspaper readers after the Maui News ceased publishing a Sunday edition in July.

“Newspaper readers on Maui deserve a high-quality, complete news report delivered to their home on Sundays — when they have the time to sit back and enjoy it,” said Dennis Francis, publisher of the Star-Advertiser and president of Oahu Publications Inc. “The new Maui Edition will provide Maui residents with all the local, national, international, sports and entertainment news that they have been missing.”

Christie Wilson, a Star-Advertiser editor and writer with more than 25 years of journalism experience covering Maui, is leading the new section.

The Maui section will include in-depth coverage of critical issues facing the county from Star-Advertiser reporters, and stories and columns from experienced Maui writers on local cuisine, sports, arts and entertainment.

Subscribers to the new Maui Edition will not only enjoy the entire Sunday Star-Advertiser newspaper; they also will receive full access to staradvertiser.com.

Readers can pick up Maui’s only Sunday newspaper at local retailers or can call 538-6397 to subscribe.
