Shaping the Future of The Staffordshire Signal: Have Your Say

The Staffordshire Signal was founded on a simple belief: our county deserves a newsroom that belongs to the people, not a distant corporate boardroom.

As a non-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), we are funded by local businesses and the community, and we operate on the principle of People Over Profits. This means that as we grow, we don't guess what matters to the residents of Stoke-on-Trent, the Moorlands, and the wider county, we ask.

We are currently at an exciting crossroads. As we plan our next big moves for 2026, including deep-dive investigative reporting and the launch of our new video newsroom, we are opening our doors for a community consultation.

Have Your Say
