Circle vision

The Cable reaches our members, existing readers and beyond through our public facing communications across social media and print, membership campaigns, distribution and through our engaging events.

We have a strong stream of new members and readers, amplifying the impact of our journalism and helps us meet other aims like redefining local journalism.

Community engagement is woven into our editorial approach and strategy development. The Bristol Cable has good relationships with members and a range of communities and organisations, who all feel invested in our work and the Co-op. Volunteers, including our board, have a rewarding experience of contributing to the Cable via events, comms, journalism and serving as a director.

We run informative and empowering community meetings that engage the city in conversations about our work, deepen the democracy of the Co-op, raise our profile and bring in revenue.
