About the Greenwich Journal
Last updated: 8 October 2026
The Greenwich Journal is an independent news website founded in 2026 in Greenwich, London. We take our name from the prime meridian, the line a short walk from our newsroom where east meets west and from which the world sets its clocks. We chose it because time and place anchor good journalism: what happened, where it happened and why it matters, reported without fear or favour.
Our values
Four principles govern everything we publish:
- Accuracy first. We would rather be second and right than first and wrong.
- Independence. We have no proprietor with a political project and no advertisers to please, because the site is free to read and carries no third party advertising trackers.
- Political neutrality. Our reporting is impartial. We scrutinise whoever holds power, and we do not tell readers how to vote.
- Plain British English. We write clearly, prefer the short word to the long one, and explain jargon rather than hide behind it.
What we cover
We report on politics, business, law, sport, the Royal Family, celebrities, Ireland and Europe, alongside a rolling archive of everything we publish. Our patch is Britain and its place in the world, seen from the meridian.
The masthead
Our masthead wears the red, white and blue of the Union Flag, crossed by a single gold line: the meridian itself. The coordinates in the header, 51.4769° N, 0.0005° W, mark the Observatory at Greenwich. They are a daily reminder of where we stand and what we are for.
