In a world of disinformation, choose truth, choose facts, choose journalism

WHO cares about your council tax rises and whether your bins are being regularly emptied? Who cares about the state of the roads, or if your local water company is upping bills while limiting supply?

- 

Who cares about school dinners? The cost of living? Community cohesion or community tensions? Or whether your local team is going to be promoted?

The answer to all of the above, and more is, of course, the Manchester Evening News.

For all of the changes faced by our society over recent years in terms of politics, leadership, and how information is shared, the M.E.N. has been there with you, covering the stories that matter where people live and seeking factual and verified information to inform, educate and entertain our readers and online audiences.

Our journalists have broken stories like the tragic death of Ricky Hatton, and lifted the lid on topics ranging from the far right in Manchester to the struggling hospitality industry.

We have also celebrated all our communities with coverage of events like Eid and Manchester Pride, and held power to account by publishing stories that challenge authorities, businesses and individuals to explain their decisions and failings.
