The Yorkshire Post is not just any old local newspaper. It is a 'national' broadsheet for Yorkshire! This paper has a fair amount of national and international news, as well as the more specifically local features and news items. These differ according to region, e.g. it is very Leeds biased, but buy it in Hull and you will find some more items relevant to this area.
An informative and light-hearted paper, this is a publication which is aware that a world exists outside London, and is useful for making national news items and politics relevant to us 'northerners'. The Yorkshire Post is intellegently written and veers toward the liberal, although it sometimes suffers from local newspaper syndrome with school sotires and the like. However, I personally think it is a great way of feeling a part of your community without compromising on the quality of your paper.
The supplement sections, when they appear, are not as good value for money as the big broadsheets. The job section is excellent and covers all types of job/ career in the area and further afield.
The Yorkshire Post is complemeted by papers which are actually local, such as the Evening Post and it is worth bearing this in mind if you are looking for specific local infomation.
Best if you like in Leeds or West Yorkshire, but worth a look wherever you live!
