Description

With the council and mayoral elections approaching, it is the role of local journalism outlets like the Bylines Network to speak truth to power at the local level, interview candidates, and call out misinformation and malpractice from all parties! 

Join us as we provide a guide of how to dig deep into local elections, with our panel of experts across the network: 

  • Scott Hunter (North East Bylines): Scott is a regular writer with North East Bylines, specialising in local investigative reporting, digging deep into local candidates and donations. 
  • Jane Thomas (Yorkshire Bylines): Jane is a veteran writer and campaigner in South Yorkshire, and one of Yorkshire Bylines' main political writers. 
  • Alex Toal (Central Bylines): Alex has been running Central Bylines' grant project with the Public Interest News Foundation, covering the local elections from the Allens Cross ward in Birmingham.
