Halifax Courier
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 local weeklies: the Brighouse Echo, the Hebden Bridge Times and the Todmorden News & Advertiser. (A fourth, the freesheet Calderdale News, ceased publication in mid-2011.)
In April 2012 Johnston Press announced that the Courier would be switching to weekly publication from the first week in June in a move to more “platform-neutral” publishing, with greater emphasis on up-to-date web-based and app-based content, and more in-depth reporting in print.
It comes out on Fridays.
