One&Other is a media brand fit for the 21st century.
Our platforms are the home of local news, culture, and conversations that inspire and empower communities for good. Out goes the negative news agenda and in comes more considered reporting, reviews, and experiences, combined with the long-lost art of storytelling and beautiful design.
Our York edition launched on September 1st 2011 with www.oneandother.com, and will be followed in the new year by regular printed periodicals.
Along the way we’re making it our mission to re-inject the relevance, intelligence, charm, beauty and purpose back into local media.
We also believe that local media have a responsibility beyond profit that needs to be protected, that is to serve, enlighten, empower and advance communities. For this to happen within One&Other, we are guided by three principles:
- That we must operate from within the communities that we serve
- That we must seek to employ local knowledge and talent wherever possible
- That all profits are reinvested into making us stronger and the creation of more social value
By setting up as a Community Interest Company (a form of Social Enterprise), we can control our own destiny and honour this commitment.
