If you want to understand what is actually happening in UK politics, business, technology and public affairs — without spin or oversimplification — you are in the right place. Headlines UK is here to help you navigate the stories that matter, with clear, practical journalism you can trust. This page explains who we are, what we cover, how we work, and how you can get in touch.
What does Headlines UK offer you?
Headlines UK delivers straightforward news coverage and explainers for English-speaking readers across the United Kingdom. Our mission is to give you trustworthy journalism that helps you understand complex subjects — from Westminster policy decisions to the cost of living, from tech regulation to cultural trends — without hype or jargon. We focus on telling you what happened, what it means, and why it matters for your daily life.
What do we cover?
We cover politics and public affairs, business and the economy, technology and innovation, and culture and society. Our reporting spans Westminster, local councils, policy debates, corporate news, tech regulation, lifestyle shifts, and public-service issues. Every area is treated with the same standard: clear explanation, named sources, and factual accuracy. We avoid clickbait and agenda-driven commentary.
How do we work?
Every article you read on Headlines UK is written by a named journalist, reviewed by an editor, and fact-checked before publication. We do not publish anonymous pieces or content written solely by artificial intelligence. Our editorial process is designed to catch errors, verify claims, and ensure clarity. For full details of our standards, please see our Editorial Policy and Fact-Checking Policy.
Who is responsible for what we publish?
Our Editor-in-Chief, David Harwood (david.harwood@headlinesuk.uk), is ultimately responsible for editorial standards, publication decisions, and corrections. Our Managing Editor, Rebecca Haines (rebecca.haines@headlinesuk.uk), runs the daily newsroom, oversees headline review and commissioning. You can meet the full team — including our Politics Editor, Business Correspondent, Culture Editor, and Fact-Checking Lead — on our Our Team page. Every editor and writer is named and contactable.
How this works in practice
Imagine a new government policy on energy prices is announced. Our Politics Editor, Thomas Whitmore, drafts a clear explainer of what the policy changes mean for typical household bills. That draft is reviewed by Rebecca Haines for clarity and structure. Our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, Oliver Reeves, checks the government figures, the relevant legislation, and any cited expert commentary. Only after those checks is the article published with Thomas’s byline. If an error slips through — say a misstated percentage — we correct it promptly and transparently under our Corrections Policy. The same thorough process applies whether we are covering a tech merger, a council budget, or a cultural trend.
