PX News is an independent newsroom covering Calder, the region and the wider world.

What we do

We publish news, analysis and long reads every day, with a small team of reporters on the ground in Calder and a network of correspondents across Europe, Africa and Asia. Our morning newsletter goes out before seven; the site is updated through the day as stories move.

We cover the things that shape daily life in the city — transport, housing, schools, the council and the courts — and we follow them abroad when the story leads there.

How we work

  • Corrections in public. When we get something wrong we fix it and say so at the foot of the article.
  • News apart from opinion. Columns and editorials are labelled; reporting is not.
  • Named sources. We name our sources wherever we can and explain why when we cannot.
  • No paywall on public-interest stories. Elections, emergencies and public-health news are always free to read.

We would rather be second and right than first and wrong.

Who pays for it

Readers, mostly. Around two thirds of our income comes from subscriptions and donations; the rest from advertising, which is always labelled and never sold against a specific story.
