Got a Story About England?
If you know about something happening in England that the public deserves to know – a decision behind closed doors, a broken promise, misuse of public money, or a story from England’s past that sheds light on abuses today – we want to hear from you.
England Then And Now News is England‑focused and evidence‑led. Our only allegiance is to England and the people who live here, not to any party, government department or corporation.
Before you contact us
Sharing sensitive information can carry risks. To protect yourself:
- Consider contacting us from a personal device and network, not one owned by your employer.
- Avoid using your work email address or work phone.
- Do not break the law to obtain documents or data. If you are unsure, get independent legal advice before sharing anything.
- If your safety or job could be at risk, share only what you are comfortable sharing at first and avoid including sensitive personal details.
We cannot give you legal advice, and we cannot guarantee that others (such as your employer) will not try to identify sources. But we will handle information you send us as carefully as we can and will discuss how to protect you before publishing anything that might reveal your identity.
What to send us
To help us understand and verify your story, please include:
- A short summary of what is happening (or happened)
- Where and when it is happening / happened
- Who is involved (people, organisations, public bodies)
- Why you believe it matters to people in England
- Any documents, links, photos or other evidence that support what you are saying
If you are not ready to send documents yet, you can still start with a brief outline.
How to contact England Then And Now News
- Email: story@england-then-and-now.com Or Text: 07824 960000 and we will call you
If your story is highly sensitive, tell us that in your first message and we can agree a safer way to communicate where possible.
What happens next
- We read all serious messages, but we cannot report every story or reply to everyone.
- If we believe we can follow up properly, a journalist from England Then And Now News will get in touch to ask questions, request evidence and discuss how to protect you as a source.
- We will not publish anything you send us without our own checks. Where we use information that could put a source at risk, we will take steps to reduce that risk, such as removing identifying details or delaying publication where appropriate.
