“I’m backing Mill Media because of the exceptional quality of its journalism and because it’s such an interesting and encouraging initiative. Britain’s cities need great commercially-sustainable journalism to inform the public and hold powerful institutions to account.”

Mark Thompson, Chief executive, CNN

Mill Media is leading a renaissance in high-quality journalism across the UK. We believe in great writing, deep reporting and giving readers a sense of insight and connection that has been lost in the era of clickbait and mass-produced online media. Founded in Manchester in 2020, we now have journalists operating in six cities, producing long reads and investigations that set the agenda. If you want to join us or work with us, please get in touch.  

“I think it’s a very, very clever thing that they have done.”

Emma Tucker, Editor-in-chief, Wall Street Journal

“I love the ambition of bringing deeply-reported narrative journalism to local news and I’m so impressed with how it’s going. That’s the kind of journalism Britain needs more of. If I was a young writer right now, I would want to work for Mill Media.”

Tina Brown, former editor of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker.
