Bristol24/7 is an independent online newspaper, offering news, comment and features for the city of Bristol.[2]

Founded in 2009 by former The Independent and Western Daily Press journalist Christopher Brown,[3] it was designed as an independent newspaper for Bristol.[4] The following year, fellow Western Daily Press journalist Laura K Williams joined to launch a What's On section.

In 2011 it was voted EDF Energy South West Website of the Year.[5] It retained this title in 2012.[6] In June 2012, it received a commendation as Best Local News Website in the UK at the Online Media Awards.[7]

It was relaunched as a Community Interest Company in 2014[8] and expanded to include a team of writers from the former Venue Magazine, Spark Magazine and local cafe blog Bristol Culture.

Now based at the Paintworks, Arnos Vale, Bristol24/7 publishes content seven days a week from freelance journalists and bloggers from around the city.

Sections include news, business, comment, what's on, food and drink, lifestyle and culture.
