Every article you read on Press Hive is the result of a deliberate, human-led process designed to give you trustworthy information. We are registered with the Malta Business Registry as C 84217 and operate from our registered office at Level 3, Tower Business Centre, Tower Street, Swatar, Birkirkara BKR 4013, Malta. This policy explains the standards our team follows, how we handle corrections, and what you can expect when you rely on our coverage of UK politics, business, technology and public affairs. Our editorial line is +44 20 4587 9485 and you can reach our team through /about-us/contact/.
Who decides what we publish
Our Editor-in-Chief and Responsible Publisher is Jonathan Ellery, reachable at jonathan.ellery@presshive.uk or +44 20 4587 9485. He makes the final decisions on editorial standards, publication and corrections. Every article is assigned to a named writer, then reviewed by an editor, and fact-checked before it goes live. Our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead is Oliver Reeves (oliver.reeves@presshive.uk, +44 20 4587 9490). He oversees the verification process and ensures all sources are properly attributed. You can see the full team at /our-team/.
How we ensure accuracy
We do not publish anything that has not been checked by a human editor. Our /fact-checking-policy/ requires every claim to be verified against primary sources, official records or direct testimony. If an error gets through, we have a clear /corrections-policy/. You can send corrections directly to corrections@presshive.uk or use our /complaints-procedure/. Rebecca Haines, our Managing Editor (rebecca.haines@presshive.uk, +44 20 4587 9486), oversees the daily workflow and ensures that every piece of content meets these standards before publication.
What our writers and editors do
Thomas Hayes is our Politics & Public Affairs Editor (thomas.hayes@presshive.uk, +44 20 4587 9487). He commissions and reviews all political coverage, ensuring it is fair and independently sourced. Amelia Blackwell, our Business & Economy Correspondent (amelia.blackwell@presshive.uk, +44 20 4587 9488), covers financial news with the same rigour. Sophie Marlowe, our Culture & Features Editor (sophie.marlowe@presshive.uk, +44 20 4587 9489), handles long-form features and cultural reporting. Each editor works with the /about-us/our-story/ mission: to produce journalism that serves the public, not any commercial interest.
How this works in practice
When a tip comes in via tips@presshive.uk, it is logged and reviewed by the newsdesk. If the story is pursued, the reporter drafts it, the relevant editor reviews it, and Oliver Reeves or a member of the fact-checking team verifies every quote and figure. No piece is published without a named byline. If we use digital tools for research or formatting, that is covered by our /ai-automation-policy/ which states that AI must never fabricate quotes, sources or bylines. All automated assistance is reviewed by a human editor before it reaches you.
Where our funding comes from
Press Hive is funded through display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, newsletter sponsorships and sponsored content. Our parent company is Sliema Media Limited, registered in Malta. Sponsored material is clearly labelled and /advertising-affiliate-disclosure/ explains exactly how those links work. Commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions. You can read full details at /ownership-funding/. Our privacy practices are documented at /about-us/privacy-policy/ and /about-us/cookie-policy/.
What content we do not provide
Our articles are for general informational and journalism purposes only. They are not medical, financial, legal or professional advice. If you need specialist guidance, you should consult a qualified professional. We take care to separate news from opinion and clearly label any sponsored material. Our /sponsored-content-policy/ sets out how commercial partnerships are handled and ensures that no sponsor influences what we write.
How you can hold us accountable
If you believe we have made a mistake, you can contact our correction and complaints team at corrections@presshive.uk and complaints@presshive.uk. Our /complaints-procedure/ explains the steps we take to investigate and respond. We also have a /copyright-takedown-policy/ and a /safeguarding-minors-policy/ to protect the rights of everyone who interacts with our site. Jonathan Ellery, as Editor-in-Chief, is the person responsible for all publication decisions and any corrections that follow.
In short
Press Hive exists to give you accurate, independently verified news about the UK. Our team is named, our process is transparent, and we are accountable to you.
