About VPNews

Who We Are

VPNews is a UK-based digital news organisation dedicated to delivering trusted court reporting, crime journalism, and public interest news. Based in London, we serve readers across England, Wales, and the wider United Kingdom with accurate, timely, and independent coverage of the stories that matter most.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver accurate, fair, and independent journalism that serves the public interest. We believe in the fundamental principles of open justice and the public's right to know what happens in their courts and communities. Our reporters are present in courtrooms across the country, providing first-hand accounts of proceedings as they happen.

Voice of the People

"Voice of the People" — our tagline reflects our commitment to journalism that amplifies the voices of ordinary people. We report on the cases, issues, and stories that affect real communities, holding the powerful to account and shining a light on injustice wherever we find it.
