About Information Station
Welcome to Information Station, Haringey's new community news project created as part of our response to COVID-19. If you care about getting through COVID-19 together, then this is the place for you.
Citizen journalists
Information Station is run by a group of citizen journalists. They are people who live or work in Haringey who give their time to report news stories and share the COVID-19 and lockdown experience of communities in the borough
They work together to:
- make sure Haringey people have a voice
- share local information on all things COVID-19 and lockdown
- challenge myths and fake news
- start informed debate about issues that matter to local people
