Craven Herald

The Craven Herald – as it’s known colloquially; formally, it’s the Craven Herald & Pioneer – is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, including the market town of Skipton, Settle in Ribblesdale, and Barnoldswick. (All three were part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974; Barnoldswick’s now in Lancashire, the other two became part of North Yorkshire.)

It’s published by Newsquest (Bradford). The editorial offices are in Skipton.

Until very recently it was a broadsheet with its front page given over entirely to small ads, a practice that was common with newspapers up to Victorian times but has now virtually died out. It switched to tabloid and put a more conventional balance of news coverage and advertising on its front page in November 2009.

It comes out on Thursdays.
