Journalism.co.uk was a website with news and advertorial content for journalists based in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was founded in 1999 by John Thompson with the aim of covering the online publishing industry and how the Internet is fundamentally changing the practice of journalism. In 2006, Thompson was a member of the panel for The Guardians online citizen journalism debate.[1]
In May 2025, the brand was acquired by Marcela Kunova who served as Journalism.co.uk editor for seven years. Later that year, the website changed its name to JournalismUK. It's published by Marten Publishing Limited.
The site claims to have a user base of 60,000 monthly visitors.[2] Its content is free and advertising-funded. The site includes news for journalists, career advice, job and training listings, events listings, a service matching journalists with press requests and a press release distribution service.
JournalismUK holds a bi-annual one-day digital journalism conference, "Newsrewired", which includes presentations by notable journalists, panel discussions and workshops.[3] The Thomson Foundation described the conference as "a key date in the diary for anyone interested in cutting edge journalism".[4] The event was first held in January 2010, and as of 2013 the event is annually attended by over 200 journalism and media professionals.[5] Journalists presenting at the conference have included Heather Brooke,[6] Raju Narisetti, Faisal Islam, Ros Atkins, Paul Bradshaw[7] and Jonathan Carr-West, head of the Local Government Information Unit.[8]
