InkLink: Connecting our Community
One Story at a Time
Manchester Ink Link exists to tell the whole story of our community, but we can’t do it without you.
In 2014 the Ink Link was launched as a free online space for news, meeting coverage, happenings, events and more.
But at its heart and soul, the InkLink is about the people and possibilities that make Manchester tick. Not just the newsmakers, but also our growing number of community contributors who provide content about the things they know and love.
We believe that a news organization that listens to its audience can create real value and change through journalism. Delivering worthwhile local news and reporting is truly a community effort. It takes a dedicated team of reporters and loyal readers working together to make it happen.
We are ready to do even more, but we need your help.
We invite you to help support the news you rely on.
Our V.I.P. (Virtual Inklink Patron) membership program is a way for our loyal readers to support our work with a monthly financial commitment.
In return we will:
Invite you to fun and informative members-only events
Send you a Membership Card which gives you discounts to local businesses
As a VIP you’ll be added to our exclusive Facebook Group.
An Inklink VIP membership puts you at the top of the A-List, whether you are an Ally, Angel or Atlas member.
Feeling generous? You can spread the love and be a News Hero by sending a Gift Membership to that special someone who has everything else they need!
But the real return on your investment* will be that we can afford to train and hire more reporters and have the resources to go deeper with you as we continue to shine a light on all the good that is in our city, while seeking solutions for the issues that challenge us.
*Note: Memberships are not tax-deductible
