Local news done slower and better 🗞️

Welcome to The Journal.

We're a local news organisation on a simple mission: to deliver a better kind of local journalism throughout the district of Bradford and West Yorkshire.

We don't chase clicks, pander to algorithms or let ads run wild on our site.

Instead, we focus on writing interesting, thought-provoking, informative and entertaining stories at length.

Stories that hold power to account. Stories that inspire change. And stories that remind you of the power, beauty and joy of the written word.

That's it – just good ole journalism and high-quality writing.

The world needs more of it – and you can help make it happen.

All you need to do is join up as a paid supporter instead. And when you do, you'll play a direct role in helping fund original, independent local journalism.

Because without you, we really are just a labour of love, a side hustle.

We want to be more than that. We want to be a force for good.

So, help us fix it, fund it and future-proof it by signing up below.

You'll not only get 40% off for a year, but we'll also throw in a free book.

Bargain.

Thank you.

Yours editorially,

Nindy (editor and founder)
