Reach is set to launch its fifth standalone city website in just over three years with a team of five journalists in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh Live will replicate the digital-only model already deployed in Belfast, Leeds, Dublin and Glasgow to build a presence in the Scottish capital with its launch, expected soon.

Former Buzzfeed Scotland editor Hilary Mitchell, who left the website when one third of its UK newsroom was made redundant in January, is heading up the venture as editor.
