About The Guide Press
The Guide Press is an international press that acts as your guide on news and current affairs, covering the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Nigeria and Kenya. In the United States, its coverage centres on Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri and Kansas. In the United Kingdom, the focus is the East of England and the East Midlands, in Canada it is Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador, and in Australia it is Western Australia. This page brings together the latest regional and national guides, guide checks, fact guides, profiles, reviews and study guides.
What The Guide Press covers
Within these locations, The Guide Press covers a wide range of subjects, including but not limited to government and public services, law and regulation, education, careers, health and science, and technology. Certain subjects serve readers better as a process than as a single event, such as an application, a legal requirement or a policy change that has to be acted on. The Guide Press sets out these subjects step by step, from what is required at the outset to what happens at each stage that follows.

What The Guide Press publishes
The Guide Press organises its coverage around a small set of formats, each designed to walk a reader through a subject rather than simply report on it. They include, but are not limited to, the following.
Regional Guide
Regional Guide covers the institutions, services and decisions shaping each of The Guide Press’s regions, from state capitals to smaller administrative centres. Each piece names the towns and cities involved, so readers can find what is relevant to their own area.
National Guide
National Guide covers developments that reach across an entire country, including government policy, regulation and public services. When a national story changes a requirement or a process in one of The Guide Press’s regions, the guide explains what that change means.
Guide Check
A Guide Check works through whether an offer, organisation, website or service that readers have come across is genuine, based on what can be verified. Each check ends with a plain verdict and the steps a reader should take next.
Fact Guide
A Fact Guide takes a claim that has spread online or in the news and walks through what was claimed, what the evidence shows and what remains unconfirmed.
Profile Guide
A Profile Guide sets out what is publicly known about a person, organisation or company, from what they do to how they came to be involved in a particular subject. Each profile is built only on documented sources.
Review Guide
A Review Guide works through products, services, companies, initiatives and programmes against a stated set of criteria. Each one covers what the subject does well, where it falls short and who it suits.
Guide Picks
Guide Picks is where The Guide Press publishes its “Best” lists and recommendations. Each list sets out the criteria used to choose its entries and the date it was last updated.
Study Guide
A Study Guide breaks a university course topic, a legal requirement or a public process down into clear steps that a reader can follow. This is also where The Guide Press publishes practical careers and workplace guidance.
