Yorkshire Evening Post
The YEP, as it’s often known colloquially among its readership, is a tabloid newspaper published in Leeds every evening from Monday to Saturday and sold throughout the eastern half of the former West Yorkshire Metropolitan County.
It was founded in 1890 to compete with the Yorkshire Evening News (which it absorbed in 1963) and the Leeds Evening Express. It’s published by Yorkshire Post Newspapers, which is ultimately part of nationwide regional newspaper publishers Johnston Press’s North division. But unlike its daily stablemate the Yorkshire Post, it’s on the centre-left politically.
It used to appear in four editions: a First and a Main edition for Leeds, plus two local editions for Dewsbury, Batley and the Spen Valley, and for Wakefield and the Five Towns (Castleford, Featherstone, Knottingley, Normanton and Pontefract). However, the Leeds early and Dewsbury editions were lost in May 2008.
A mobile site was launched in December 2011.
