VPN Launches UK’s First Court News Powerhouse
VPN is back—and we’ve just launched the UK’s first fully independent court news platform. Real-time access, legal intel, and zero spin. This changes everything.
After two weeks of radio silence, we’re back—and not just with news, but with a game-changing announcement that redefines the very future of independent court and crime reporting in the United Kingdom.
Today, we're proud to officially launch our brand new publishing platform and reporting portal: a fully independent, custom-built digital system that puts Video Production News right where we belong—at the forefront of honest, transparent, boots-on-the-ground legal journalism.
This isn't just a redesign. This is a reinvention. A relaunch. A recommitment to everything we stand for: .
Let us explain what we’ve been building—and why it matters not just to us, but to you, our readers, viewers, and subscribers.
Over the last two weeks, we’ve stepped away from publishing to do something bigger: we’ve finished construction of a fully in-house news platform. Hosted entirely on our , with no third-party cloud involvement whatsoever, our new system gives VPN complete control over our data, our content, and—most importantly—our editorial integrity.
.
Thanks to direct API links with every London court, our team now has to listings, judgments, and case filings as they happen. You’ll see the same things legal professionals see—sometimes before even the mainstream press.
We’ve built a , allowing us to track trends, spot patterns, and deliver reporting that’s rich in context and backed by hard data.
Our internal legal reference library lets us offer instant clarity on even the most complex trials—so when we explain a case, you can trust it’s been cross-checked against the book, not just Googled in a rush.
Our system automatically matches national and regional news to real court cases. No more guessing which headlines are connected to which charges—we’ll show you the full picture.
With a more powerful publishing engine comes a deeper commitment to what we do best: serious legal commentary, exclusive analysis, and that hits where it hurts.
From June 7th, VPN will be the outlet in the UK to offer a , complete with a dedicated publishing space for new voices to grow under our editorial wing.
This isn’t social media clickbait dressed up as news—it’s a professionalisation project. A safe, sealed platform where aspiring reporters can learn the trade, find their voice, and publish with guidance, oversight, and purpose.
At a time when many newsrooms are shrinking, and too many journalists are chasing clicks over facts, we’ve chosen to double down on —the kind that respects your intelligence, and serves the public good.
Everything we’ve built—from our server stack to our new newsroom layout—is designed to uphold the same principles we’ve always stood for: . We’re not here to chase the crowd. We’re here to do the work.
We’re back. Stronger, sharper, and more committed than ever.
And we’re just getting started.
