About Byline Investigates
Byline Investigates is the investigative arm of Byline, a UK journalism outlet crowd-funded by its readers. The channel publishes reports and commentary on criminal activity and misconduct within the British media, with a focus on phone hacking and tabloid newspapers. Upload activity has stopped since 2022, and its videos are typically two to six minutes long.
According to channel data, the channel has about 1,600 subscribers and a median of 442 views per video, so the audience is small. Viewers are likely to be UK-based adults interested in press ethics and politics; this is an estimate, not measured data. Byline's own website describes the outlet as having no advertising, so no brand work appears on the channel.
For brands, the estimated rate is $150 to $250 per video, a CPM of $20 to $35 per 1,000 views (compared with $10 to $30 for paid ads). Organizations running press-freedom or UK civic campaigns, where a politically engaged audience is the goal, should consider booking this creator.
