Editorial position

Independence is the product

Our newsroom reports to an editorial board, not to the group.

MR News Network has held its licence since 2001 and has never had a story pulled for commercial reasons. That charter is why advertisers, regulators and audiences continue to treat our bulletins as the market’s reference point.

“A broadcaster owned by a diversified group only works if the wall between them is real. Ours is written into the licence.”
Editorial charter, MR News Network
