Hi ,
With the general election just days away, The Ferret has been keeping its beady eyes on the political landscape. From exposing candidates promoting conspiracy theories to uncovering the powerful figures behind campaign donations and meticulously fact-checking politicians' claims, we’ve had our paws full.
While politicians will come and go, our commitment to holding power to account remains steadfast. Thanks to our dedicated members and readers, we’ll soon be burrowing even deeper into the power dynamics within Scottish politics and society.
As we officially end our crowdfunding campaign, we're thrilled to announce that with the incredible support of more than 260 people, we've not only reached but surpassed our £10,000 goal. This milestone will enable us to launch round two of our acclaimed ‘Who Runs Scotland’ series.

Earlier this month, Ferret co-editor Karin Goodwin was joined by multi-award-winning writer, commentator, and performer Darren McGarvey in Glasgow for an event at the Glad Cafe. They explored what it means to share your lived experience of trauma on the public stage and discussed how the media and third sector can best amplify those stories in a safer way.
This event was part of Indie News Week, a campaign designed to give communities a chance to meet their local journalists, learn more about the people behind indie outlets, and understand the effort that goes into accurately and fairly covering the lives of their fellow residents.
