The Northern Ledger

Our Mission

The Northern Ledger was founded to amplify stories, policy issues, and successes outside the London bubble. We're a regional platform dedicated to covering the voices, innovations, and challenges of Northern England with authenticity and professionalism.

From Leeds to Liverpool, Manchester to Newcastle, Sheffield to Sunderland – we tell the stories that matter to people across the North.

What We Cover

Our Approach

Local journalism with national context. We believe that Northern stories deserve the same depth and attention as those from the capital. Every piece we publish grounds national issues in local relevance and quotes local voices wherever possible.

We're grounded, straight-talking, and warmly professional. We reject metropolitan bias, stereotyping, and overly formal tone. Instead, we embrace colloquial British English with professionalism, regional authenticity, and respect for our communities.

Who We Serve

• Northern entrepreneurs building businesses and creating opportunities
• Local activists driving change in their communities
• Regional professionals across sectors from healthcare to tech
• Anyone who believes Northern voices deserve to be heard

Based in Leeds

We're proud to be Leeds-based, operating from the heart of Northern England. Our position gives us direct access to the communities, businesses, and institutions that drive the region forward.

Whether it's a community project in Bradford, a tech startup in Manchester, or a policy debate in Newcastle, we're connected to the pulse of the North.
