We’re delighted to welcome you to Glasgow View — a brand-new, independent news website created for the people of Glasgow.
Glasgow is a city full of character, creativity, resilience and strong opinions. It deserves local journalism that reflects that spirit — journalism that listens, questions, celebrates, and holds decision-makers to account. That’s exactly what Glasgow View is here to do.
Built on the same values and experience behind Midlothian View, Glasgow View focuses on what matters most to local people:
Council decisions that affect everyday life
Community stories that don’t always make the headlines
Local business news and grassroots initiatives
Culture, events and the people who make Glasgow what it is
We believe local news should be accessible, independent and rooted in the community. Our aim is to inform without sensationalism, report without political bias, and give a platform to voices that are often overlooked.
Most of our content will always remain free to read, because staying informed about your city shouldn’t be a luxury. In time, some in-depth and exclusive reporting may sit behind a small paywall — not to maximise profit, but to help sustain quality, independent journalism in Glasgow.
Glasgow View is still growing, and we want you to be part of it.
Have a story to share? A local issue you think deserves attention? A community success worth celebrating? We’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for being here at the very beginning.
This is your city. Your stories. Your Glasgow View.
