Independent, British, and unapologetically rigorous.
Britwire is a London-based digital publication covering cryptocurrency, automotive innovation, artificial intelligence, consumer technology, startups and the broader world of digital finance. We write for British readers who expect their journalism to be sharp, accurate and editorially independent.
Our mission
Britain has the world's deepest pool of financial talent, one of its strongest motor industries, and an AI sector punching above its weight. We believe these stories deserve reporting that matches their importance — written by journalists who understand both the technology and the country.
We launched Britwire in 2024 because we were tired of reading UK technology coverage written for a Silicon Valley audience. Our remit is simple: cover what matters here, for people who live here, with the editorial standards of a national broadsheet.
Editorial values
- IndependenceWe accept advertising and sponsored content, clearly labelled. We do not accept payment, equity, or other consideration for editorial coverage. Ever.
- AccuracyEvery claim of fact is verifiable. Corrections are published promptly and prominently.
- Plain EnglishWe write for intelligent readers, not insiders. Jargon serves the writer; clarity serves the reader.
- DisclosureConflicts of interest — financial, personal or professional — are disclosed in the byline footer of every article.
