Mill Media Co Information

The mission of this company is to inspire a renaissance in high quality local journalism in the UK. The journey started when Joshi founded The Mill as a one-man-band in June 2020, a few months into the pandemic. The idea was very simple: would people start valuing and paying for local news again if it was done in a completely different way? More in-depth; more nuanced; with stories that were more enjoyable to read and weren’t covered in horrible advertising. From there, we have grown into a fully-fledged media company. We now have have publications in three cities – including The Tribune in Sheffield and The Post in Liverpool – and more than 70,000 people have joined our mailing lists. Crucially, more than 5,000 paying members pay for and support our journalism, come to our events and shape what we cover.
