Our Mission
Melksham Independent News is a trusted, family-owned local newspaper, produced and run by people who live and work in the community we serve. Proudly independent, we are not affiliated with any political party or external organisation.
Our editorial values are rooted in fairness, accuracy and accountability. We believe local journalism plays a vital role in holding power to account, amplifying community voices, and celebrating the people, events and issues that matter to Melksham.
We believe that access to news should be free for everyone. We are financed through advertising, which allows us to remain free to our readers and independent from outside influence.
