About The Bristol Cable

The Bristol Cable is a local news publication run through a media co-operative. It covers Bristol, United Kingdom, with news, investigations, features on local communities and issues, events, and weekly podcasts. Recent homepage examples include investigations into Bristol City Council's data-gathering tool and Wessex Water's sewage discharges and dividend payments, along with features on religious communities in the city.

The homepage invites readers to become members to help keep news independent, and it provides a way to contact journalists to share tips. It also invites readers to stand as directors of the co-operative. The homepage does not state how membership or support is priced, so the cost of joining is unknown.
