The Founders
What this is
The Founders’ Wall is the public record of the first one hundred people who took the risk of becoming Founding Members of The Press Box, Britain’s first writer-first newsroom.
Every Founding Member receives a numbered share, #1 through #100, assigned in order of acceptance. The first ten are reserved for first-week applicants. After 17 July 2026, the door closes on the Founding 100 permanently. A paid Founding Cohort II may open later under different terms.
Each Founding Member gets a permanent founding number, founder-edited bylines on Good News England, and a place in the writers’ community, explained openly on the Press Box page.
The Press Box is part of Good News England.
