Welcome to Press Hive. These terms of use set out the rules for accessing and using our website, presshive.uk. They are designed to protect both you, our reader, and our editorial independence. By using the site, you are agreeing to the terms below. If you have any questions, please contact our editorial team.
What rights do you have when using Press Hive?
You have the right to access and read our journalism for your personal, non-commercial purposes. You may share links to our articles and quote brief extracts, provided you clearly attribute Press Hive as the source. However, you must not republish, scrape, distribute, or reproduce our content in full without our explicit written permission.
All content on Press Hive is protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. By using the site, you agree not to:
- Use any automated means (such as bots or scrapers) to access or copy our content.
- Modify, sell, or commercially exploit our articles or multimedia without a separate written agreement.
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in a way that could damage our reputation or operations.
How this works in practice
We are committed to accuracy, transparency, and accountability in our journalism. This section explains how our editorial standards, correction policies, and use of technology apply to your experience as a reader. Every article is written by a named journalist, reviewed by an editor, and fact-checked before publication.
Our Editor-in-Chief, Jonathan Ellery, holds final responsibility for all editorial decisions and corrections. Our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, Oliver Reeves, oversees our verification processes. We may use digital tools, including AI, to support research and formatting, but a human editor always reviews every piece of content before it is published. Read our full Editorial Policy and AI & Automation Policy for more detail.
Sponsored content and affiliate links are clearly labelled wherever they appear. These commercial relationships never determine our editorial conclusions. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, please let us know.
Who owns and funds Press Hive?
Press Hive is owned and operated by Sliema Media Limited, a Maltese digital media company registered with the Malta Business Registry (Registration Number: C 84217). Our registered office is Level 3, Tower Business Centre, Tower Street, Swatar, Birkirkara BKR 4013, Malta. We believe in being open about how we are funded and who is behind our journalism.
Our funding comes from display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, and newsletter sponsorships. All sponsored material is clearly labelled so you can always tell when content has been produced in partnership with a brand. These commercial arrangements never influence our editorial independence. You can find out more on our Ownership & Funding page.
What if something isn’t right?
If you spot an error, have a concern about an article, or wish to make a formal complaint, we want to hear from you. We take all concerns seriously and have a clear process for investigating issues fairly and promptly. You can contact our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, Oliver Reeves, directly at oliver.reeves@presshive.uk.
We will correct errors promptly and transparently in line with our Corrections Policy. For formal complaints, please follow our Complaints Procedure. These terms of use are governed by the laws of Malta, and any disputes will be handled by the Maltese courts. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. For more information on how we handle your data, please see our Privacy Policy.
