About Newsguv

Newsguv is a newspaper of public record for Pembrokeshire. It reports what the police, the courts and the council have put on the record, in one place and in plain English.

How stories are made

Stories are compiled automatically from official sources and checked against a fixed set of publishing rules. Every story names its source and links to it. We do not add opinion.

Our sources

• Crime: street-level crime and outcome data published by the police on data.police.uk under the Open Government Licence v3.0. This data never identifies individuals.
• Council: the council’s published meetings calendar, agendas and press statements.
• Courts: outcome statistics from police data, and court lists issued by HM Courts & Tribunals Service where we are licensed to use them.

Court reporting

Courts sit in public and what happens there is a matter of public record. We never identify anyone involved in family proceedings, or anyone under 18. Cases that may be covered by reporting restrictions are held back. Court listings are removed from the site after a fixed period. See corrections and removals.

Automated collection

Our collector identifies itself as NewsguvBot, follows robots.txt and requests pages slowly. If you run a site we collect from and want to talk to us, please get in touch.
