About North London News (NLN)
North London News (NLN), the part of Times Intelligence Media Group, is a news publication dedicated to delivering reliable, hyperlocal, and people-focused journalism across North London. We cover everything from local politics and social issues to business, transport, crime, and cultural events — ensuring that the voices of North London’s diverse communities are heard.
Our Core Principles
At North London News, we believe in the power of grassroots journalism to inform, empower, and uplift local communities. Our editorial philosophy is grounded in four key principles:
1. Strong Ethical Journalism
We uphold the highest standards of integrity and accountability in our reporting. In an age of misinformation, NLN is committed to fact-based journalism, balanced perspectives, and responsible storytelling. Every article we publish is carefully researched, transparent, and free from bias — ensuring that readers can trust North London News as their reliable source for credible information.
2. Promoting Street Journalism
We believe that news should be by the people, for the people. Too often, traditional media overlooks the everyday stories that truly matter to local residents. At NLN, we empower citizen journalists, community reporters, and storytellers from across North London to share firsthand accounts from their boroughs. By fostering street journalism, we give a platform to voices that might otherwise go unheard.
3. Building an Informed Community
An informed community is an empowered community. Our goal is to educate, engage, and inspire North London residents with news that matters to their lives. We provide:
- Daily updates on civic issues, business, crime, transport, and local governance
- In-depth investigative reports on issues affecting the region
- Opinion pieces and community discussions that drive meaningful dialogue
- Practical guides and resources to help residents navigate services, rights, and opportunities
By keeping our readers informed, we enable them to make better decisions for themselves and their communities.
4. Strengthening Local Democracy
A thriving democracy relies on an engaged and informed public. North London News shines a light on local government actions, policy changes, and community concerns to ensure transparency and accountability. From covering council meetings and elections to amplifying public voices, NLN acts as a watchdog and advocate for fair governance.
We encourage civic participation by:
- Breaking down complex political issues in simple, accessible ways
- Providing a platform for local leaders, activists, and residents
- Highlighting community initiatives that drive positive change
By bridging the gap between decision-makers and citizens, NLN helps North Londoners shape the future of their communities.
News By the People, For the People
At North London News, our reporting is powered not just by journalists, but by Street Reporters — everyday residents of the boroughs we cover.
These local citizen reporters play a vital role in ensuring that everyday issues, often missed by mainstream outlets, receive attention. Whether it’s transport disruptions, housing challenges, cultural events, or grassroots movements, our Street Reporters bring authentic, on-the-ground perspectives from their neighborhoods.
Our volunteer Street Reporters receive comprehensive training in journalism, ethical reporting, and unbiased storytelling through our Street Journalism Training Programme, ensuring every contribution meets NLN’s standards of integrity and credibility.
