WalesOnline prides itself on investigative, campaigning and public interest journalism. We hold the Welsh and UK governments to account, our work is raised in the Senedd and House of Commons, and the then-chancellor abruptly ended an interview because he didn't like our questions.
We invest in trained journalists who seek to challenge authority and hold power to account on your behalf, bringing you the news that matters when, where and how you want it. WalesOnline and our sister title, North Wales Live, alone employ more than 50 journalists to cover our governments, courts, sports teams and communities. 8.5 million people a month read them online and their work also covers print titles like the Western Mail, South Wales Echo, South Wales Evening Post, Daily Post and several weekly papers.
But today we're asking our readers to help us tackle an emerging threat to what we do so well. You may already be aware of the public outcry surrounding the BBC’s controversial ‘Across the UK’ plans, which seek to transform the corporation’s provision of local news by inflicting swingeing cuts on the corporation’s local radio services and diverting its resources into beefing up the BBC’s online local news services.
