The North East's Independent Voice
Newcastle Daily is a digital-first local news platform committed to keeping residents of Newcastle and the wider North East informed, engaged, and connected to their community.
Our Story
Newcastle Daily was founded with a single purpose: to give the people of Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East a reliable, independent source of local news. In an era when national outlets have steadily retreated from regional coverage, we stepped in to fill that gap.
We believe local journalism matters. Stories about your neighbourhood, your council, your schools, your sports teams, and your community events deserve the same rigorous reporting and clear presentation as any national headline. That belief drives everything we do.
Since our launch we have grown into one of the most-read local news platforms in the region, trusted by residents, businesses, and public organisations alike for timely, accurate, and impartial reporting.
Our Mission
To inform, empower, and connect the communities of Newcastle and the North East through independent, accurate, and accessible digital journalism.
Accuracy
We verify before we publish. Every story is checked, every claim sourced, and corrections are issued promptly when we get something wrong.
Independence
We are editorially independent. Our coverage is never shaped by advertisers, political parties, or commercial interests.
Community
We cover the stories that matter to local people - from grassroots campaigns to council decisions affecting everyday life.
Transparency
We are open about who we are, how we fund our journalism, and how readers can hold us to account.

Our Standards
Newcastle Daily is committed to the highest standards of journalistic practice. We follow the Editors' Code of Practice and encourage readers to contact us if they believe we have fallen short. We take complaints seriously and aim to resolve them swiftly and fairly.
