REBECCA is Britain's first investigative website.
There are other websites but they're spin-offs from other media: from television channels, newspapers, magazines and books.

REBECCA is an independent website that combines high-quality television programmes with conventional current affairs articles.

CALLING OLD SUBSCRIBERS

ALL SUBSCRIBERS to the old REBECCA magazine should note that these subscriptions are still valid. E-mail us with your details including your address in the 1970s and 1980s. If you’re on our lists, you will not have to pay for REBECCA in the future.

REBECCA does not accept advertising or sponsorship.

REBECCA is dedicated to forensic journalism.
Forensic means it can be defended in court. All articles are read for libel.

REBECCA is a campaigning website. Ending the secrecy of masonry and reform of the police are two of its key campaigns.

REBECCA investigations are uncompromising - but fair.
Everyone mentioned has the right of reply, uncensored save only on taste and/or defamation grounds.

REBECCA undertakes to correct mistakes as fast as possible - and apologise for them.

REBECCA does not have a publication schedule. A programme or an article appears on the website only when the research it requires has been completed.

This can take months and even years. Work on the opening edition started more than ten years ago.

However, free regular newsletters are planned to keep subscribers up to date.

Once a new edition appears, the previous edition goes into the free archive section.

rebecca_illusWHY REBECCA?
REBECCA may be new to the online experience but it started life as "a radical magazine for Wales" back in the 1970s and 1980s when it gained a reputation for its campaigning style and corruption investigations.



Information about the origin of the name REBECCA and why the axe(wo)man features in the logo can be found in Paper Tiger.



The second part of Paper Tiger gives some interesting examples of what people said about REBECCA way back then.

We have also republished some of REBECCA's original campaigning articles in the Archive section - you may think they're ancient history but the stories illustrate how the temptation for people to take advantage of positions of authority is nothing new.
