EastLondonLines is an independent news website run by the media department of Goldsmiths, University of London. We have been up since November 2009 covering the things we think are important along the new Overground line between Dalston and Croydon.  We hope that you are also beginning to see a real community developing along the east side of London and that you will see our site as the obvious place to link up, find out what is happening, and use our listings to find out how best to enjoy your new connections.

EastLondonLines is produced entirely by journalism students with the assistance of journalists who are tutors and lecturers at Goldsmiths. Unlike most other publications it will inevitably undergo the occasional personality transplant as  responsibility moves between groups. As each new group takes over there may be the odd break in service (though so far never more than a day or two). But we intend to keep going and keep bringing you honest news, produced to the highest ethical standards, by young people who will go on to be part of the future of journalism. We want you to be part of the process, so please use the comment boxes at the end of every news story. If we have got it wrong then tell us. We have no axe to grind. If you know something we don’t, then tell us that too. If we can verify it then we will use it.

EastLondonLines is currently being edited by edited by Sarah Whitehead who are on the Journalism MA at Goldsmiths.

If you have a story idea please get in touch from our contact page. We don’t publish the email address in full because they collect loads of spam.
