The Star

The Star is an evening newspaper for Sheffield and other South Yorkshire towns including Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham; it’s also sold in North Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire.

It’s been a tabloid since 1989. It’s published by Sheffield Newspapers Ltd, which is owned by Johnston Press.

It was originally founded in 1887 as the Sheffield Evening Telegraph, but took over its rival the Sheffield Evening Star soon after its launch. For a decade from 1888 it was known as the Evening Telegraph and Star and Daily Times, and was renamed the Yorkshire Telegraph and Star in 1898. Two rapid name changes in 1937 and 1938 saw it become the Telegraph and Star, then simply The Star. In the meantime it had taken over another local rival in 1931, the Sheffield Mail.

It appears in local editions for Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster as well as the main Sheffield edition. It also has a weekly football edition the Green ‘Un, which appears on Saturdays.
