Janine GriffithsEast Side Story has been featured on local radio and joined Chapel FM to discuss the issues shaping East Leeds and what listeners can expect from the platform in the weeks ahead.
During the broadcast, our team spoke about the upcoming election and the importance of accessible, community-focused reporting at a time when many residents are looking for clear, reliable information.
The conversation also highlighted a number of stories currently in the pipeline, reflecting our continued focus on social issues, local voices and underreported perspectives across the area.
The appearance offered an opportunity to share our mission with a wider audience, as well as to underline the role of independent journalism in keeping communities informed and engaged.
Listeners were encouraged to follow East Side Story for further updates as coverage of the election and other key local stories continues.
Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
