Do consider becoming a member. It’s always a great read - and also independent local reporting is fundamental to the health of our politics and places. (I’ve been a longtime supporter and am a small investor.)
These are our six campaign pledges - the things we will do next year if we manage to add 1,000 new members. They were chosen by our readers because they’re things we believe will make Manchester better.

Pledge 5 is about training up the Mancunian journalists of the future. If we reach 1000 new members in this campaign, we’re going to launch a structured scheme to support and mentor a group of wannabe writers and reporters, who will learn from our team and our experiences.

Our first pledge was incredibly popular with Millers and we’re excited about doing it: going into schools to give young people the skills to fact check what they’re seeing online and do their own journalism.

This is a fantastic piece - full of joy as well as the obvious sadness.
The MEN is now the only local newsroom in Greater Manchester that has more than a handful of staff reporters, but go back 25 years and it would have been one of a dozen.
