We’re not your average newspaper. The Bristol Cable is a reader-owned media cooperative, owned and supported by more than 2,500 people across the city.

We produce award-winning local journalism, in print and online, made free to access for all by members. Together, we amplify marginalised voices, campaign for change, and hold power to account through groundbreaking investigations.

Recognised internationally as a pioneer in the movement for a new media, our mission is to redefine local journalism as a community asset, which is accountable to and serves the needs of our communities.
