About the Citizen

The Croydon Citizen is a new online newspaper for minds that are looking to be challenged, educated and entertained.

We have a strongly plural editorial policy and actively encourage a variety of voices to contribute to the site. We believe that progress comes from unfettered thought, community solidarity and genuine, thoughtful engagement with alternative views. We believe it’s better to put yourself in the shoes of those you think you oppose, than draw up tribal battle lines against them.

We’re concerned with anything that is of particular relevance to Croydon, its people and its natural communities.
