Advantages: Best known paper in Yorkshire, Large circulation, Award winning writers

Disadvantages: None

The Yorkshire Evening Post is the best known of the newspapers published by YPN. The others are the Yorkshire Post, Yorkshire Sport, The Yeller and Leeds Weekly News (which I work on :-)) A daily paper, it carries all the local news, views and reviews and has award winning journalists among it's staff.

It was actually founded in the late 1800s and is available throughout the whole of the Yorkshire region. Daily circulation is around the 101,000 mark.

The readers' letters page is particularly lively and there is often fierce debate regarding both local and national issues. The classified section is very large and carries ads for cars, personals, household etc. Every Thursday there is a jobs section which is *the* place everyone looks first when they are looking for employment.

Sport is always well catered for too as we have our beloved Leeds United to write about, and there is always loads of up to date information about our local team.

Although the paper can be picked up from obvious suppliers, every so often they have a promotion to encourage people to have the paper delivered to their door.

As I said earlier, some of the staff writers have won jouranism awards and the standard of journalism is every bit as good as in the nationals. Thereare designated writers for education, health, features etc and the content is always a mixture of hard hitting, local and more lighthearted features.
