About us

EDITORIAL Telephone 07791 406 498

The Edinburgh Reporter is the news website for Edinburgh. We write about local news, events that are taking place here and local sport. The news is aimed at people living, working or visiting the capital of Scotland. We welcome contributions from anyone who has something to say about Edinburgh.

If you have an article, or even an idea for an article which you could write, then please email us [email protected] or use our Contact us page.

You can also send your own story for publication by accessing the form here.

COMMENTS 

These are welcome in response to all of our articles, as long as these comply with our very simple guidelines.

Please do not use offensive language and please stick to the thread of the article and other comments. More detailed rules on interacting with The Edinburgh Reporter are here.

LIVEBLOGGING

This is one way we use to cover some council meetings or to run web chats with a variety of people or organisations.

All of these articles are published here.

PRESS RELEASES

Releases from any PR companies with a story to tell us and our readers about Edinburgh businesses or events happening here are welcome. We use press releases to get as many stories as possible out to our readers, although they are always edited and checked before publication. As a PR professional you may use our What’s Your Story feature here to ensure we get your news.

PHOTOGRAPHS 

These are essential to us so that our pages are alive with good, relevant images, and we take our own photographs or use photos from others, but only with express permission. If you have photos you think we could use then please feel free to email and we will publish with full attribution to you or indeed your business.

If you would like to buy any of our photos then please get in touch.

We also use TikTok here.
