'Vital in these incredibly difficult times': How the M.E.N.'s trusted journalism is helping people during the cost-of-living crisis

In these turbulent times trusted, reliable journalism is more important that ever. And here at the Manchester Evening News we're committed to covering the stories that matter most to our readers during the cost-of-living crisis.

From family writer Emma Gill's supermarket price comparisons to real life reporter Paige Oldfield's series of pieces about those struggling to make ends meet and hard-hitting opinion pieces holding politicians to account, the M.E.N. is determined to use our platform to help those most in need.

A new study has revealed that journalism is playing a vital role for society through its coverage of the cost-of-living crisis. Almost two in every three Brits (62%) believe journalists are playing a 'valuable role' in covering the issue.
