Become a Friend of Bylines Network and help us power citizen journalism
Bylines Network doesn’t have billionaire backers, corporate owners or political paymasters. Our strength comes from people – readers, writers, editors, volunteers and supporters who believe in truth and democracy. With 10 UK national and regional publications, over 2,000 contributors and publishing 400 articles every month, we champion the stories and voices others don’t. But this work isn’t free.
By becoming a Friend of Bylines, you’re supporting journalism, investing in stronger communities, helping us deepen public understanding and strengthening democracy. You’ll get behind-the-scenes insights, chances to engage with our editorial teams, access to special events, merch, and more, depending on your tier.
Most of all, you’re helping us publish more stories, support more citizen journalists and speak truth to power. Join us – and be part of the change.
"The Bylines Network is tremendously inspiring…it's crucial that journalism speaks truth to power, but the great majority of it unfortunately speaks with the voice of power…it’s really inspiring to see networks like yours filling that huge gap and doing what journalism ought to do."
