Editorial Policy
Where In Hull is an independent local website covering Hull and the HU postcode area. Our aim is simple: tell people what is happening without making Hull feel permanently miserable.
What we cover
We publish useful local news, events, sport, travel information, business openings, community activity, public information, interesting people and the unusual stories that give Hull its character.
Important news still matters
A positive outlook does not mean ignoring serious stories. Major fires, flooding, disruption, significant council decisions, major employment news, school closures and genuine public-safety information belong on a useful local website. We aim to report them proportionately and without turning private distress into entertainment.
Sources and verification
Where possible we check information against primary or reliable sources. Feeds and social posts may alert us to a story, but they are not automatically treated as proof. Material that cannot be verified sufficiently may not be published.
Automation
Technology may help us discover, organise, classify and prepare local information. Editorial rules still apply to automated material. Stories involving allegations, vulnerable people, serious private incidents or uncertain claims require a higher threshold and may be excluded entirely.
Corrections
We correct genuine factual errors when they are identified. See our Corrections page for more information.
Our Community Guidelines also explain what we will and will not accept from contributors.
