Politicalite

Whilst most kids would watch Cartoon Network or MTV… Jordan always flicked on Sky News and BBC News 24 and would watch for hours on end, learning about the world from a little black box in the corner his Grandma’s front room. He would also read the two tabloids his grandparents had delivered, The Sun and The Daily Mirror and was mesmerised by the design and story presentation.

After leaving high-school, Jordan applied and successfully bagged an interview at the BBC’s new Salford HQ… He was unsuccessful, as he could not speak*, so he enrolled in a Media Studies course at the local Sixth Form college in Salford.

Shortly after, He bagged another interview at ITV Granada. He was again unsuccessful, as he could not speak*.

A few years later Jordan enrolled in a Media Production course backed by both Salford and Teeside University, in which he attained a degree in Media learning how to edit graphics, video, audio and produce content. His course work regularly mocked current events and he produced Spitting Image style satire that had some of his tutors laughing in hysterics.

Despite being set-back all his life by a *Stammer, Jordan found writing as the one way he could speak without his words getting stuck, as he wrote how he would usually speak, which he believes is why Politicalite resonates and connects with everyday readers, as he understands the down-to-earth tone of the content which is key for a working-class paper.

One tutor at Uni repeatedly criticised Jordan for his writing-style in his essays, telling him to “stop writing like a Tabloid-journalist!”, but ever the rebel, he realised a skill he did not even know he had, and continued to make his course-work even more bombastic.

Following his time at Uni, Jordan dropped out of an additional Television Production course at Salford Uni in late 2016 and used his student loan to flew to New York, the very place that started his interest in the Media.

At the time, Donald J. Trump was days away from being nominated as the Republican Nominee. Jordan could see the difference between what people were saying on social media and what the British and American mainstream media reported.

This is when brainwave for Politicalite came, he realised that there could be an online outlet for the underclass and working-class, that actually said what they all were thinking.. as that’s where most picked up and shared information.

During his time in America, Jordan watched US TV and was mesmerised by the fast-paced brashness of the news broadcasts. In the UK news was dull and boring, in the states it was a non-stop “Entertainment Show”.

Jordan also picked up copies of The New York Post and enjoyed the punchy headlines and bold journalism that was easy to read.

He also visited NBC’s Studios at 30 Rock and witnessed NBC broadcasts such as Saturday Night Live in-action.

On his return to the UK, Jordan James was unable to get into the door of the snooty Fleet Street media landscape, despite bagging interviews at the BBC and ITV, So, he set up his own outlet and so far, the site has reached around twenty million people across the globe and in the past 28 days the site has been read by over 3.5m.

He covered The 2017 General Election, met Prime Minister Theresa May, met the former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and covered the Manchester Arena Bombing, the rise of the so-called ‘far-right’ and UKIP – as viewed by the working-classes, reported on the European political tour for a notable controversial Right-Wing activist, and has also broke dozens of scoops on censorship and has helped make working-class Britain AWAKE on Politics.

Shortly after launching Politicalite he was fast-tracked to Apprentice-style interviews at The Sun in 2017 as part of the Newspapers -yearly Apprenticeship Scheme, and instead of impressing the bosses, he creeped around snapping pics like a long-lense Paparazzi, trolled the Editor claiming that Elton John had written something career-ending on Twitter and then earwigged close to the Showbiz desk in which Dan Wooton was sat upon ‘a throne-like desk’ with his court of fabulously dressed women editors.

Later that day, he wrote his first proper scoop… “Exclusive story “INSIDE THE SUN” – praising the outlet and busting the myths that the paper was an evil right-wing empire. He then made it his mission to make his own outlet work and beat the paper that once inspired him.

Today, Politicalite is one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent right-wing news outlets in August-September Politicalite.com had over 3.5 MILLION views on Twitter alone.

So what does Politicalite try to do for YOU?

Well, we try to put the working-class people and their views first, and always try to report the news with the working mans (or woman’s) stance.

WHO DOES POLITICALITE SUPPORT?

Politicalite also backs The Governments Northern Powerhouse Strategy, Poverty Eradication, Working-Class Representation, Better Gypsy and Traveller Rights, Free Market Capitalism, Gay Rights, and Personal Freedoms and Freedom of Speech which is why we took a fairer line on one controversial figure who we felt once represented a vast majority of the underclass and working-class British people following the failure of Former PM Theresa May, despite us not agreeing with what he had to say.
