Long Business Description

The Leicester Gazette is a locally focused independent newspaper based in Leicester, operating as a multi-stakeholder co-operative owned by its readers and journalists. Originally launched online in March 2023 (as the Great Central Gazette) and rebranded to its current name in 2024, the Gazette produces investigative reporting, in-depth features, opinion and community stories that reflect local interests often underserved by legacy media. It emphasises public-interest journalism, media literacy and community engagement, offering a collaborative platform for contributors and readers. In December 2025 the Gazette published its first free quarterly print edition, distributed across Leicester and surrounding areas.
