Who?
Somerset Confidential® is brought to you by Even Handed Licensing Limited, the team that created and ran The Leveller for 14 years.
Somerset Confidential® is set up to offer the same high standards and dedicated reporting on Somerset. As always all our work hinges on three key pillars:
Questioning
Investigating
Telling truth to power
Somerset Confidential® articles will be written by our editor, Andrew Lee, and freelance reporter at large, James Garrett and occasionally others too. What they have in common, is a track record of championing Somerset and bringing to light Somerset stories.
Why?
The added benefit of the online format is that we can deliver news more frequently, especially time sensitive stories, direct to your inbox.
But who wants news reports interrupted by pop up ads? Most news websites are unreadable and the experience is not an enjoyable one.
Substack offers an alternative platform. Lots of writing, lots of journalism and no ads.
We may do a little sponsored content, with an ad up front for occasional articles. BUT it won’t interrupt your reading experience.
Our Substack newsletter is dedicated to news, investigations and reporting from Somerset and about Somerset. It enables us to reach some of the more remote parts of Somerset that we struggle to get our hard copy newspaper too.
What?
Somerset Confidential® will deliver a weekly newsletter providing a free news update on the more interesting stories and delving a little deeper into them than you’ll find in other news outlets. You won’t find any unaltered press releases masquerading as news items at Somerset Confidential®!
On top of that we’ll usually deliver one extra piece each week where we need to delve much deeper into a particular issue.
Our current format is our weekly newsletter is published every Friday and the longer in depth piece is published on Monday. Give or take bank holidays and other such interruptions of course!
