We are one of many important local news sources in the world who play a part in people's everyday life. In times of strife or celebration, we are proud that our readers look to EssexLive as a trusted source of verified information and news. Sunday September 28 is World News Day, when news providers join forces to raise the importance and value of trusted, fact-based journalism. But in 2025, journalism in the UK has never been more threatened and, simultaneously, access to factual, reliable information has never been more important. On this World News Day, join us in raising and recognising the value of journalism and trusted news.
