South Yorkshire Times
The South Yorkshire Times is a weekly tabloid sold in the Dearne Valley area around Doncaster, Sheffield and Barnsley.
It was founded in 1877. It’s published by South Yorkshire Newspapers, a division of Johnston Press, from editorial offices in Mexborough.
It earned praise from the National Union of Journalists in June 2011 for reporting planned strike action by its own reporters on its front page. Editor Jim Oldfield – himself threatened with redundancy – said he was “pleased that the company appear to have had an adult reaction to the story”. The ensuing strike lasted for eight weeks from July to September. The editorship of the Times has now been amalgamated with that of the Doncaster Free Press, Selby Times and Goole Courier. (Oldfield has since moved to the online-only, hyperlocal Postcode Gazette.)
It comes out on Thursdays.
