Join a newsroom that values patience, curiosity and a good question.

Why work here

We are small enough that everyone's work is seen and big enough to take on stories that need months. Reporters own their beats, editors have time to edit, and the product team sits next to the newsroom.

  • Four-day week in August and over the new year
  • A training budget for every member of staff
  • Flexible hours around the morning and evening editions
  • Office on the canal, five minutes from the central station
