- “I’ve been raving about Mill Media ever since I first stumbled across them. It’s become apparent they’re doing something very exciting in the media landscape, which is part of a push to revive long-form, rich journalism at a local level" - @mlothianmclean
- "Mill Media with its network of local journalists was able to spot the rising far-right threat to asylum hotels well before their national counterparts in London". Great piece by @martinbright for @IndexCensorship.
- Replying to @millmediauk and @joshi"Mill Media’s approach to local news is not only exciting, but also a blueprint for a type of essential reporting left to wither on the branch for far too long. We can’t wait to get started.” - @robbiejourno
- Replying to @millmediauk"The operation will shortly extend its reach north of the border to Glasgow and, in its biggest challenge, to London. If local journalism is dying, then no one has told the 267 applicants for a single reporting job on the new publications." - @martinbright
- The 'cult'-like church taking over London — and its links to Labour politicians. @AndrewKersley reports for @_TheLondoner
- Show us a prettier media officeThe little appreciated Mancunian sun ☀️
- Thanks for the mention on Radio 4 @CharlotteTobitt 📻 Charlotte's 2025 prediction is more outlets like ours launching across the country, which she calls "bright spots" in local journalism.
00:00 - Replying to @millmediauk“I’m incredibly excited about our new title in Glasgow,” @joshi said. “One of the first things that happened after we announced our fundraise last year was that I got messages and calls from journalists in Glasgow saying that we should launch there next.

- Replying to @millmediauk and @martinbright“A significant part of the blame for getting these hotels into the public eye needs to be shouldered by Farage,” @joshi says.
- Replying to @millmediauk and @martinbright"The sheer volume of subscribers is a testament to the vital importance of local journalism to many people – and local journalists are able to spot movements and trends beyond metropolitan London."
