The Bridge is an independent news service for Berwick Upon Tweed.
It’s here to inform and celebrate our lovely community and fill the gap left by regional media. It also helps address the local democratic deficit – covering Council matters; town, county and beyond.
The Bridge is part of a new wave of independent publishers; reporting WITH the community not just about the community. There are growing opportunities for people to contribute and help.
Editor Wendy Robertson trained at The Scotsman, worked at BBC Radio Newcastle and in freelance TV production. “I fell in love with Berwick and hope to make a contribution to this wonderful town.”
In October Wendy spent a weekend in Glasgow at the annual PINF – Public Interest News Foundation – Conference, learning and discussing ways to improve local reporting to serve our communities even better.
