Kyeo.tv is a new approach to local journalism, aiming to take step back from the traditional local hack and targeting our stories to those who are not the audience for current regional news outlets, typically 18-35 year olds.

We are for the passionate 27-year-old, the political 22-year-old, the desperate-to-go-to-gigs 32 year old, and for anyone of any age who shares the spirit of being an adult with the treasure of still being slightly wet behind the ears and ‘youthful’, whatever that may mean.

This is not the site where you will find out about a motorcyclist dying on the A696, or how an 8 year old designed a new road sign.

Our regional take on news means we are the first exclusively online journalism platform in the North East to offer content from across the region in one place, stretching from Berwick to Darlington and keeping to the right side of Jedburgh.

Since our launch in early April we’ve amassed over 1.3 million hits and a loving audience of nearly 10,000 regular viewers. This is the start, and hopefully the end will see a new approach to what being a local journalist means.

“The question isn’t who is going to let me, it’s who is going to stop me.”
