Pits n Pots is an independent news site which focusses on the Stoke-on-Trent political scene. The site promotes and actively encourages comment and debate on the political stories it publishes. Several Stoke-on-Trent councillors contribute to the site with comments or by having their 'blogs' republished to the site.

Although not classed as traditional media, the site has featured on BBC News | Technology,^[1] has been mentioned in Hansard^[2] and at the The future for local and regional media sub committee^[3]. The site founder Tony Walley has spoken on BBC Breakfast News & Radio France about the site and what is commonly termed Hyperlocal publishing.

Pits n Pots ran the story about the BNP using a Polish Spitfire^[4] on their posters some 5 days before the national press picked it up.
