Evening Courier
The Evening Courier is an evening tabloid newspaper sold every evening from Monday to Saturday in the town of Halifax and the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale in West Yorkshire, including the towns of Sowerby Bridge, Ripponden and Elland.
It was founded in 1892 as a broadsheet, having been preceded by a weekly, the Liberal Party-supporting Halifax Courier. It absorbed a rival newspaper, the Conservative Party-supporting weekly Halifax Guardian, in 1921, at which point its editorial stance became politically independent.
It’s published by Halifax Courier Ltd, which has been a branch of the Johnston Press regional newspaper publishing group since they took it over in 1994. The editorial offices are in Halifax.
There are three associated weeklies: the Brighouse Echo, the Hebden Bridge Times and the Todmorden News & Advertiser. (A fourth, the freesheet Calderdale News, ceased publication in mid-2011.)
