This morning, Sun-Times Media introduced a new digital magazine app by the Chicago Sun-Times, which covers the Windy City's favorite sports team, the Chicago Bears. The new semi-weekly digital magazine is called Bears Extra.
Bears Extra is being called by the Sun-Times as "the fan's complete source for news, information and fun facts about the Chicago Bears." New digital issues of the magazine will be released twice each week throughout the Chicago Bears' season (and hopeful post-season), on Mondays and on Thursday or Friday.
Each magazine will feature exclusive features and commentary from Chicago Sun-Times sportswriters Rick Telander, Rick Morrissey, Sean Jensen, Joe Cowley, and others. The issues will also have features such as statistical breakdowns of each player and game, in-depth analysis of the Bears and their opponents, NFL game previews, player interviews, video highlights, photos, quizzes, and more.
The digital magazine is especially formatted for the iPad and tablets, with artfully designed pages and an intuitive user interface.
Subscriptions and single issues of the Sun-Times' Bears Extra digital magazine/app are completely free. Bears Extra can be downloaded at the Apple Newsstand at this link

In a statement this morning, Timothy P. Knight, CEO of Wrapports, LLC and Publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times, said: "This is the ultimate magazine for Bears fans because it brings together the best sports coverage with a seamless digital reading experience. It is our goal at Wrapports to continue to leverage new developments in digital media to give our readers the best content possible, when and how they want it."
Jim Kirk, Editor in Chief of Sun-Times Media, added: "Our sports coverage has a large and loyal following. This digital magazine is for all Chicago Bears fans, and it captures the energy of the season with beautiful photography, exclusive interviews and pages of great reading."
