Jack Dulhanty

Ophira Gottlieb

Ophira is the editor of The Mill. She’s from Glasgow, shamefully the only member of the team not from Greater Manchester. Her favourite stories are 'low stakes high drama', like the Tour Guide Turf Wars, or the Manchester Victoria Pigeon Massacre.

Alec Herron

Alec is a writer and journalist who has written for the Guardian and spent several years in BBC newsrooms. He is determined to wedge his love for Belle Vue Aces and Gatley Tandoori into a story, and won’t stop until he has achieved it.

Ethan Penny

Ethan’s a writer at the Mill. He loves hyperlocal drama – perhaps down to his Oldham upbringing – and challenging investigations coloured by curious characters.
