The Bristol Cable is a member-owned investigative media outlet, free from corporate backers or ad-driven revenue.
Together, we hold power to account through groundbreaking investigations, campaigns for change, and amplifying marginalised voices. Without independent, investigative media, we lose truth, integrity and diverse perspectives.
The future of independent, hard-hitting media is in your hands. If you are anti-corporates, anti-oligarchs and anti-bulls#!t, then it’s time to back The Cable – the media outlet that dares to challenge, inform, and inspire, for a better, fairer future. Find out more about us.
