Byline Times
online newspaper and TV channel
Byline Times is a British alternative media website and newspaper launched in 2019 by Peter Jukes and Stephen Colegrave, who are also its executive editors.
History
Byline Media and Byline.com
After jointly registering the Greater Manchester-based company Byline Media Ltd in October 2014, the British entrepreneur Daniel Tudor and his South Korean colleague and fellow University of Oxford alumnus Lee Seung-yoon launched the crowdfunded media platform Byline.com that allowed "campaigning journalists" to make direct appeals to readers in April 2015.
By July 2015, it had 300,000 monthly visitors, and raised $850,000 in seed funding while the board of advisers was made up by the former editor-in-chief of The Economist Bill Emmott, the former editor-in-chief of The Sunday Times Harold Evans, and the playwright Peter Jukes who had joined as a columnist. Peter Jukes and Stephen Colegrave took over the Byline.com in 2016.
Byline Times
In November 2018, Peter Jukes and Stephen Colegrave registered Byline Times Ltd as a Birmingham-based company, with 51% shares held by LC Nominees Ltd, a firm headquartered in the same city. The print newspaper Byline Times was then launched in the summer of 2019, with an initial subscriber base of almost 1,000. The newspaper is published monthly for subscribers, with three-quarters of the material restricted to print, while BylineTimes.com functions as a free news site. Byline Times's sister organisations are the former crowdfunding journalism platform Byline.com, investigative unit Byline Investigates, the Byline Times Podcast, Byline Books and the annual summer event Byline Festival. All are separate entities.
Byline Times is also published by Bywire News, an "independent blockchain news network", whose other partners include The Canary, Labour Buzz, Not the News, Business Wales, Our.London, and Media Reform Coalition (MRC) which, according to Bywire, means "each article contains a record on the blockchain detailing when it was created, by whom, and any revisions which are made and when".
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Byline Times” as online newspaper and TV channel. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as online newspaper and TV channel. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q67569142. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
