NorwichWire.co.uk is a UK-based local and regional digital publication, rooted in Norwich and serving Norfolk and the wider East Anglia region. We exist to provide helpful, reliable, people-first local journalism that informs, connects and strengthens our communities. Our mission is simple: to cover the stories that matter to the people who live, work and invest here — from city council decisions and school funding to independent shop openings and village festivals. We believe local news should be accurate, fair and accessible, with no paywalls and no spin.
What we cover and for whom
We publish daily across a broad range of beats: local news, public affairs, community stories, business updates, transport, education, health and public services, culture, events, lifestyle features and regional analysis. Whether you live in Norwich city centre, a Norfolk market town or a coastal village in Suffolk, our coverage is designed to reflect your concerns and interests. Our audience includes residents, commuters, local business owners, councillors, campaigners and anyone who cares about the future of East Anglia. We aim to be the first port of call for reliable information about the place we all call home.
How we work
Every piece of editorial content published on NorwichWire.co.uk is reviewed by a human editor before it goes live. This applies to all news articles, features, analysis and opinion pieces. For sensitive stories — including those involving vulnerable people, criminal allegations, or contentious local issues — and for all coverage of Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council and other public bodies, we add an extra layer of scrutiny. Those stories are reviewed by our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, Daniel Keane, who checks sources, verifies facts and ensures editorial standards are met. You can read more about our editorial principles in our Editorial Policy and our approach to accuracy in our Fact-Checking Policy. We also maintain a published Corrections Policy and a Complaints Procedure to ensure accountability.
Who is responsible
William Hargreaves is our Editor-in-Chief. He oversees editorial policy, corrections, publication decisions, source review and overall content quality. Day-to-day editorial planning and newsroom workflow are led by Managing Editor Clara Benson, who commissions articles, coordinates contributors and manages the publishing schedule. They are supported by a dedicated team of specialist journalists: Peter Ashcroft (Local Government Editor), Megan Weller (Business & Economy Correspondent), Isabelle Morton (Culture & Events Editor) and Daniel Keane (Standards & Fact-Checking Lead). Full details on each team member can be found on our Our Team page.
