Why we are writing a love story to Manchester and how you can get involved

The campaign, launched to coincide with the annual ‘Journalism Matters’ week and in the run-up to the festive season, will be a love letter to Manchester as we focus on everything from amazing pubs to top notch chippies, from the most beautiful walks to family favourite attractions.

Our reporters Sofia Fedeczko and Theo Hewson Betts are out and about experiencing the community afresh and reporting back but we also need you to share your top local tips. If you #LoveYour -  we want to know what and why. You can email them on [email protected] and [email protected]. 

We’ve been extensively covering the changing face of Manchester. Marking fresh openings and new neighbourhoods while also celebrating the business, pubs and more that have a rich history in the city and have helped make it the brilliant place that it is today. 

Editor Adam Lord said: “Manchester is such an incredible city that’s unique for so many reasons. Some of those can be found around almost every street corner, in the pubs, shops and businesses that are the heartbeat of our communities.

“There’s people behind these places too and as a website that is all about ‘Ordinary Mancs, extraordinary stories’ we’d love to celebrate them all but need your help as part of the #LoveYour campaign. It’s a brilliant chance to champion everything that is great about our city - Definitely Maybe the best in the world right now.”
