Yorkshire Post
The Yorkshire Post is a daily broadsheet newspaper, published in Leeds, England.
The paper was founded in 1754, as the Leedes Intelligencer, making it one of Britain's first daily newspapers. Like the Scotsman, it has the look and feel of a national broadsheet, rather than a local news carrier. Its focus on international and national news puts it in the same class as the Washington Post, which nobody would think of as the district's local newspaper. In fact, without "Yorkshire" in the title, the Post could easily be mistaken for a national paper such as the Times or the Daily Telegraph, as was the case with the Manchester Guardian, a paper that eventually dropped the local indentifier from its masthead to become a fully-fledged member of the national press.
