History

The Yorkshire Evening Press was established in 1882.^[3] It changed from broadsheet to compact format in 2004^[1] and shortly afterwards dropped "Yorkshire" from the title. Morning printing began on 24 April 2006, and the paper was given its present name.^{[citation needed]}

William Wallace Hargrove printed at 9 Coney Street. Paper was delivered by barge along the River Ouse. In 1989, publication moved to Walmgate.^[3]

The Press has run campaigns including their Guardian Angels Appeal^[7] and Change It.^[8]
