Wakefield Express
The Wakefield Express is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire and the neighbouring towns of Ossett, Horbury and Normanton, each of which has its own local sub-edition.
It was founded in 1852. It’s the flagship newspaper of the Yorkshire Weekly Newspaper Group, which is a division of Johnston Press. Its editorial offices (and YWNG’s headquarters) have been in the same location in central Wakefield ever since it was founded. (However, Johnston announced plans to sell the building and move to an out-of-town location in April 2009, to the dismay of the YWNG staff housed there; the plans appear to have been abandoned, as the move still hadn’t taken place nearly three years later.)
It has a freesheet companion, the Wakefield Extra.
It’s published on Fridays.
