Blog Preston is a Community Interest Company (CIC) providing local news about the city of Preston, Lancashire. It was launched in 2009 as a WordPress blog by Ed Walker and since then has grown its readership, becoming a source of online news for Preston residents.
This independent media organisation is a member of the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), and its primary revenue source is local advertising. The revenue from advertising goes back into the community through reporting on what is happening in the city and supporting different community initiatives and charity campaigns. Additionally, Blog Preston has established a fund for community events and projects across the city.
Blog Preston helped to establish different Facebook groups in the city, connecting local residents interested in news, events, and information services by building a solid engagement with the local community.
While reporting on goings-on in the city, from the latest breaking news to politics, the media organisation involves community contributors across town to write about their local area, supports community events, and builds partnerships with local organisations.
