Our stories matter.

They inform, they entertain and they bring positive change.

We want subscribers to feel our app is a vital part of their everyday lives.

Start your week by diving into The Edit - a weekly curation of the best long reads every Monday morning selected by our features editor Chris Osuh.
Keep up to speed at all times with The News Digest, giving you everything you need to know in a quick and concise way - updated at 7am during your morning coffee and once again during your midday lunch break.
And then in the evening, kick back with Beth Abbit's newsletter Mancunian Way, discussing the issues that sometimes get lost in the news cycle with her unique voice.
Then it's time to play! There are five puzzles to play for subscribers, including sudoku and crosswords - plus the ability to listen to articles rather than read them if you're out and about or doing chores around the house.

In just the past few months, our news reporter Stephen Topping exposed the truly shocking scandal of the forgotten child in the flats that are full of fear as part of an award-winning investigation that will shape government policy in the years to come.

But we're also here to help you relax, reflect and learn more about Manchester and all the life that's happening within and around it.

Every weekend food writer Ben Arnold casts his verdict on our region's food scene - whether he's slamming an all-you-can-eat with robot waiters, or eulogising about the café in the shadow of Strangeways where only one thing matters, it's always essential weekend reading.

And lifestyle editor Dianne Bourne is always clued-up on Saturday mornings to tell you where you should head for your next weekend trip - like the village 'that's an escape from the real world' just 90 minutes away, oh... and when things go VERY wrong in the theatre, she's usually sat there ready to give you an eye-witness account.

Meanwhile every Sunday property reporter Phoebe Jobling is all over how Mancunians are making ordinary homes extraordinary (and how you can do the same), including the first-time buyer who transformed the 'worst house on the street' into something beautiful.

But this is just a taste of who we are and what we do. So get involved.
