About Us

Welcome to News Behind The News, where we put the news in context. We explain the whole story, giving you the full picture to the latest news.
In a world of Facebook shares and here-today-gone-tomorrow stories, it can be hard to understand the story behind the story.
That’s where we come in. Simple, straightforward, contextual stories. Not telling you what the news is, but why it is news.
News Behind The News was set up by four student journalists at the University Of Lincoln.

The Team all worked together in the creation of this website. Content has individually been written, however the majority of what you see on site, and what goes on behind it, is the work of a team.
 Our authors are:

Josh Stoneham @JoshStoneham96
Josh worked on articles such as: New Zealand’s New Flag, Refugees And ISIS Explained, and Why Canada’s Recent Election Is Such A Big Deal.
Along with many more.
Josh also worked on the overall organisation of the site, creating pages and worked on admin. He helped with social media design and admin, produced mass content and gave structure to the initial idea.

Rachel Gascoigne @RachelGascoigne
Rachel worked on articles such as: The Migration Dilemma, Why Ethiopian Women Are Having Fewer Children, and Why Will 2016 Be A Scorcher?
Again along with many others.
She worked on the News Behind The News logo and initially produced the site’s idea. She created design concepts, helped with social media posts and design, and came up with content.

Natasha Taylor @_natashaltaylor
She also set up social media, created widgets, helped with the sites idea, and created design and layout concepts.
