The Ferret (website)

Scotland The Ferret has published investigations since 2015 as a co-op owned by its members rather than by billionaires or corporations. Members do more than pay: they help decide what the newsroom investigates, which gives the ownership model a direct line into the editorial agenda. Expect slow, document-heavy reporting on Scottish public life rather than daily news. Pair it with the Bristol Cable to compare two small British co-ops doing the same kind of digging in different places.
