About us
The Hull Story is an independent publishing venture run by experienced journalists from Hull. Our commitment is to produce quality, public interest journalism and be an independent voice for our great city and region.
We champion our heroes and good causes, but we don’t shy away from difficult issues. We are a campaigning publication, whether tackling injustice or fighting for those people, communities, or businesses who need it.
But of course it is you, our readers, who determine our success. So we invite you to engage with us, get behind us, and tell us what you think.
