“Daily delivery”

Hi Strands fans. This one was fairly easy once you got what the theme - "Daily delivery" - refers to.
Unfortunately, I went off in completely the wrong direction, brainstorming things that are delivered every day: milk, letters, parcels and so on.
It wasn't until I got JOURNAL in the top left corner and TIMES in the bottom right that I made the connection: these are both names for newspapers!
That led me to get TRIBUNE, which neatly cleared a path for the spangram of NEWSPAPER from top to bottom along the middle.
With the board neatly divided in two, I quickly found the two words hidden in the bottom left-hand corner: HERALD and GLOBE. That left just CHRONICLE to uncurl in the top right-hand corner to finish the puzzle.
