From 7 April 2026, access to Shephard's news and analysis will be available exclusively through a Defence Insight subscription. The current model that allows basic account holders to read a limited number of free articles each month will come to an end. Legacy Premium News 365 Plus subscriptions will remain active.
This change reflects our continued focus on delivering high-value, integrated market intelligence to defence professionals. By bringing our news, analysis and data together within Defence Insight, we are strengthening the depth, context and reliability of the information our subscribers rely on to inform critical decisions.
As part of this transition, the Daily Defence News Bulletin will evolve into a curated briefing issued twice weekly to Defence Insight subscribers. Each edition will focus on the most significant defence developments, supported by additional context and insight.
What remains freely accessible
The following content and channels will continue to be available without subscription:
For professionals who use Shephard as part of their research, planning or decision-making, a Defence Insight subscription provides full access to our news, analysis and market intelligence data within a single, integrated platform.
We appreciate your continued engagement with Shephard and the role our journalism plays in your work. If you would like to discuss subscription options, our team will be pleased to assist.
Yours sincerely,
The Shephard Team
