About Us

We founded Tickir with a simple goal; to continue to meet the increasing demand for news, and to deliver content that is accessible to all.

Much news at the moment is written by white middle-class people for consumption by people like them. To make matters worse, rather than sticking to the facts, they try and influence your thinking.

This makes articles longer than they need be and they are often harder to read than is necessary.

Almost all news publishers want to draw you away from the Social Media platforms you spend your time on to their sites. We know you’d rather be there, so this is where our news will always be published.

We plan to offer a subscription model which means we can send our news direct to your phone, so you will be in control of what you read rather than restricting your knowledge to what your Social Media feeds choose to show you.

Our business will grow and adapt as the world changes. We will achieve this by focussing on what matters; people not excessive profits. We still aim to make a profit, but where we do, we will share it with our people and support projects in the communities we serve.

We are Tickir, the news organisation for all our futures.

Here are the three little things that make Tickir stand apart from the rest

People

We write news to help you grow your knowledge and understanding, not to tell you what to think. We make sure as many views are represented and stories covered as possible so you need never feel missed out or underrepresented.

Sustainability

Our ultra-lean, digital publishing model means we have a much lower cost base than our rivals, allowing us to operate more efficiently.

Affordability

We will never ask our readers for mandatory payment thereby making our stories available to everyone
