ReadingWire.co.uk is a digital news publication operated by Prism House Media Ltd., a private company limited by shares registered in England & Wales (company number 16629483). We are based in London, at 12 Hatton Garden, 4th Floor, EC1N 8AN. Our mission is straightforward: to deliver reliable, people-first journalism for British readers. We cover UK and world news, politics, business, technology, culture and entertainment — reporting the stories that matter, with accuracy and fairness at the core of everything we do.
Who we are and what we stand for
We are a team of experienced journalists, editors and fact-checkers who believe that great journalism serves its audience — not a political agenda, not an advertiser, not a click-count. Our coverage is led from London and designed for readers across the United Kingdom and internationally. We publish news, analysis, features, explainers, opinion pieces and cultural reporting that help people understand the world around them.
Every day, we ask ourselves: does this story inform, clarify or illuminate? If the answer is yes, we pursue it. We strive to be a trusted source in an age of misinformation, and we hold ourselves to the highest editorial standards.
What we cover and for whom
ReadingWire.co.uk delivers daily coverage across six core verticals:
- UK & World News — breaking news, current affairs and public-interest reporting from Britain and around the globe.
- Politics — Westminster, policy, political analysis and the decisions that shape people’s lives.
- Business — markets, the economy, companies and entrepreneurship.
- Technology — innovation, digital culture, tech policy and the impact of technology on society.
- Culture & Features — long-form journalism, opinion, lifestyle and cultural analysis.
- Entertainment — film, TV, music, arts, celebrity and the stories behind the headlines.
Our audience is primarily British, but we also welcome international readers who want a clear, well-informed perspective on UK affairs. Everything we publish is written for a general audience — no jargon, no spin, just the facts and the context you need.
How we work
Every piece of editorial content published on ReadingWire.co.uk is reviewed by a human editor before it goes live. Our editorial team follows a rigorous process: story selection, source verification, drafting, editing and final approval. For sensitive stories — those involving legal matters, allegations, minors, privacy-sensitive reporting or any content that could cause significant harm — we require an additional layer of review by our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, Thomas Ellery. This ensures that our reporting is not only accurate but also responsible and proportionate.
We maintain clear policies that govern our editorial practice. These include our Sources & Standards, Editorial Policy and Fact-Checking Policy. We also have a Corrections Policy that allows readers to report errors and request corrections with transparency.
Who is responsible
Our Editor-in-Chief, Jonathan Whitfield (jonathan.whitfield@readingwire.co.uk, +44 20 4587 9301), oversees all editorial policy, corrections, publication decisions, source review and content quality. Day-to-day editorial planning, newsroom workflow and article commissioning are led by our Managing Editor, Eleanor Reeves (eleanor.reeves@readingwire.co.uk, +44 20 4587 9302).
