About Cover Wales

Cover Wales is an independent news desk for Wales, published at coverwales.com. We report national stories and local desks in Gwent, Cardiff, Swansea and the North.

The Nation is national news. The Brief is local. Matchday live covers sport and fixtures on the kick-off day. Sections for pubs, food, nightlife and place files open as they are filed; a section without content stays off the menu rather than sit empty.

We use named public sources. Court reporting follows the list and what was said in open court. Custody images appear only after conviction, only from the force's own release, and always credited. Corrections are dated on the story.

The site carries no advertising in its early months. An app will be announced when the desk is ready for one.
